    Your sewing room looks great, I'm sure you will have lots of fun sewing in it.

    That looks awesome!! I've been looking for LED lights to put in my ceiling fan light but they are candelabra based and the biggest wattage I can find is about 25. I need more light than that.

    I just had an idea and found this converter thing. I wonder if they would fit in my fan light.

    Apologize for the misinformation.
    I really hate the new bulbs..I have been buying the forbidden ones for awhile now so I can have a stash that will last 25 yrs! Wow, one saves $2.70 per year for 5 yrs.....doesn't match the cost of that bulb! And remember the mercury content!

    The ones that Divokittysmom are LED and they don't have the mercury issues that CFL bulbs do. I hate fluorescent of any kind (I even quit using my ott light and my daylight lamp) so I'm going to splurge on LED bulbs.

    I, too, would be interested if these would work. Please post if you get them and if they work.

    I purchased my LED lighting at a Batteries and Bulbs store. It is a specialty store which carries much more than places like Lowes and Home Depot. I took my ceilling fan light bulbs in so they could help me pick out what would work. If you have a store similar to B&B you might consider trying them, they were very helpful when choosing the lighting for our home.
