Fun with LED Lamps in Philco Sets
#15

Great job!

I was lucky in that my 46-1201 uses a C7 which I could easily find an LED bulb for. I got mine on Amazon - it's called the G7. (It's the only C7 LED with 4.5 stars.) While not as warm as an incandescent, it's not as cold as some LED's. It may have been designed to burn at a warmer hue as it is sometimes used in night lights.

My diffuser panel was burned in, so even though the LED is cool, I cut out a piece of a heat resistent diffuser film and swapped it out (I used the sheets used to filter the high powered and HOT lamps used in photo and motion picture lighting).

The diffuser film sheet comes in different shades and textures for different lighting effects so if need be, I was also ready to swap in a more yellow-ish sheet. These are found on http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ in case anyone is interested.
