Do you have a link to the source for the lights that you used?
   Thanks,

After shopping around I found a molded strip of 12 LED's that fits perfectly into this fixture. removed the existing lamp holders by drilling out the rivets. The new strip has an adhesive backing that appears to be permanent. Rewiring was really simple. Light output is about the same as the old incandescents but have a very slight bluish tinge. No problem reading in this light. Just not as warm a light as the old. I regret not throwing �ammeter on the circuit to see what it did draw but I would estimate the new lights draw less than 1/20 the amount of �power the incandescents did. FWIW. Thoughts or comments welcome.
