Next message: Ken James: "Re: lv-ab: how bright are the new leds?"
Here is where I have purchased many of the LED replacements for my
fixtures.
http://autolumination.com
This page has his flashlights at a pretty reasonable price:
http://autolumination.com/flashlights.htm
Check out the full site, he has the best selection of replacement bulbs
for all base types. I have not searched for anything I have not been
able to find so far.
Typical disclaimer, no affiliation, just a happy customer.
