Sustaining Member Joseph Tese Posted March 25, 2020 Sustaining Member Share Posted March 25, 2020 I have an older 5 Socket screw-in Edison fixture that I'm thinking about putting LEDs in. I was surprised to find my options limited for bright LED bulbs that have passable color quality. It'd be cool to get high-quality LEDs in cornbulb style lights that draw around 100 Watts. - I feel like the technology is here, but there's probably not enough incentive to manufacture a consumer style socket past using it for practicals (which don't need to be that bright) These are the brightest I can find. Anyone have any other thoughts?https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1480946-REG/raya_e26_led_45_45_watt_led_bulb.html/overview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guillaume Cottin Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 There is a bi-color 85w version of the bulb you are referencing. Maybe that's enough. Brute force but "passable" CRI: 100W: https://ledmyplace.ca/products/led-corn-bulb-100w?variant=36001232011 300W: https://www.ebay.ca/i/254384949174 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sustaining Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted March 31, 2020 Sustaining Member Share Posted March 31, 2020 Those two are Mogul base, though. Do they even make a Mogul to Edison adapter--- I know they have an adapter to decrease Mogul sockets to Edison but haven't ever seen the other way around.

You could tell it was older packaging. They’re on amazon, too! (E26 to e39) https://www.amazon.com/DiCUNO-Adapter-Converter-Maximum-Resistant/dp/B07GZD3N4R You never really know the color quality without testing , I doubt the corn bulb you listed is manufactured to account for the values that matter to us, too (like r9, etc). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
