yep. The commercial bulbs I bought almost hurt. The LED's I bought were just about right. I also added a second diffuser even though these bulbs had a 40 degree spread. They are also 10MM bulbs. I got a hold of some scrap diamond diffuser panels that had chipped edges and it worked wonders.
Have to show the desk lamp I built out of a socket and a piece of wire.
They also now sell LED's that have the yellow tint of incandescents.
