LED replacement for wall sconce?

MamaBidz · 08-07-2018, 12:38 PM

Hi all
I've been searching the threads doing some research on LED replacement bulbs. It seems the ceiling fixtures are easy with many options for wedge-type LED bulbs, but I have yet to find a replacement for the double contact style bulbs in the sconces in our bedroom.

I'm looking for something a little softer so that if one of us is reading, the other doesn't need to wear sunglasses! Is there an LED replacement out there that isn't ridiculously bright?

Thanks in advance!
Heather

Are the bulbs bayonet base or pin type?

Bayonet base, with two contact points.

I think that is an unusual bulb for a lamp. The double contact bulbs usually have two filaments, in an auto for turn signal and running light. The pins on the side of the base for the two filaments are at different levels. Your bulbs look like they are at the same level. I couldn't find any bulbs like yours when I searched. You might have better results if you search with the bulb number.

These may be a possibility. Do an Amazon search for "12v double contact bayonet base bulb"

Mark, those are single contact, they need double contact base.
