I know this is a long shot but I'm hoping to replace bayonet base lamps with LED's.
Anyone know where I might find inexpensive conversion LED bulbs that fit into older bayonet based switch bases?
Thanks
Joe

Thanks Arthur..
I did that. Came up with two options, The base only at $1 you then buy bulb in whatever voltage separate.
Or the bulb with base at $4 in any color.
I'm now looking to see if I could find the bulb with base cheaper...

Wow, thanks chessie. thats exactly what I was looking for but will 16volts work with a transformer set at 18-19 volts?

Try Town & Country Hobbies. They are $2 a bulb, but $60/50 if you have many to do(you can resell the leftovers).

LOL, this forum is amazing... this place has what I want but are they bright?
I notice they have 18 volt white with a blue tint discounted.
Are you familiar with that bulb?
Thanks

Joe the led's bulbs if u use them in Acc. they only work on 12 to 14 volts then on engines and cars with lights even u run at 18 volts when it goes thru your wire and track and pick ups the volt drops a bit i tested one of my cabooses one day had 18 volts on the transformer then i check the volts to the bulb it was only 16 volts now if u get a voltage spike it will blow but most of my engines and cabooses with lights has 12 to 14 volts in them i run them for 9 years had not had a bulb blow in them yet knock on wood
Henning's trains on ebay but I just got what they had left of the clear for now. They are great 18v and are perfect in the 022 switches. Price is 12 for $16 plus shipping. They also have them with screw in base ( My switches had both) they also have red and green. If you plan to use them in switches I hit the top of the led with a black sharpie to stop the light from coming out of the hole in the cover.
But my dear Neeeeed has absolutely NOTHING to do with it.
Found this website with what you need:

I have purchased LED bulbs from trainsaidsa.com and was very happy with the product.
Replaced 12 bulbs from my switches and controllers with LED's from trainaidsa.com and they worked great!! I used the inverted versions.
