A local organization I'm volunteering for just moved into a municipal facility that is lighted with incandescent "saturn lights". They are just using regular PS35 incandescents right now, not silver bowl. However, the City said that if we want to keep the lights (which we do), we have to find LED lamps for them. Otherwise, they insist the lights have to be replaced.

Normally, I'd never use LED replacement lamps because I love incandescent, but in this case, its LED lamps or we lose the fixtures. Keeping them incandescent isn't an option. Having said that, does anyone have any experience with good mogul base 120-volt PS35 3000K LED lamps? Most of them I've found online are too cylindrical for our use and would be ugly to look at. Since the bulbs are unshielded (except for the rings), they need to be aesthetically pleasing and bright enough to replace a 500-watt lamp.

For the base, you could use a mogul-to-medium adaptor.

For the bowl, if you could find some inexpensive metal bowl that is about the diameter of an original lamp, you could use homemade wire clips to hang it in the centre of the inner ring. Then you need not care about the shape of the LED lamp since it is out of view. I imagine a stainless steel miniature mixing bowl would work nicely.

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea!

Why does the city have any say on what lights you use?

They own the building.
