I donno abt LED bulb but my bro fella said that it's looks like in disco lol when he saw it. BTW I've used there 8kmcd Leds.

I think White would look much better But after all the labor done don't want to change it to superwhite. I like this one

Combine that with the fact that perfect symmetry needs to be maintained for the bulbs in the breadboard! Looks good, but I am satisfied with my PIAA hyper white dome bulb...Just a little to 'bling' for me.
