[ale] OT Just bought my 1st & 2nd "lighting-class" LED bulbs

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Sure,

You can just go to Home Depot and look for the Cree 60W warm white LED in blue packaging on a blister card.

Or, on the web:

http://www.creebulb.com/bulbs/warmsoft-white-led-bulb-60-watt-replacement?lang=us-en

The specific model number I bought is:

BA19-08027OMF-12DE26-1U100

Sincerely,

Ron
