We have been replacing our old light bulbs with LEDs. Not only do they use less energy, but they are brighter, especially the red ones (for night time). Our overhead light fixtures take the bayonet style base, so we found these LEDs that fit the existing fixtures. The LEDs use 0.1 Amp. The Halogen uses 1.5 Amp. The picture really doesn't capture how much brighter the red light is.
