Leds

The problem with LED's vs lamps is LED's are directional. Bulbs produce light 360 degrees. We had a problem with replacing incandecents with leds, just the point above the led lit up. It made the switch nomenclature look funny. We went back to bulbs even though they burn out faster.

What was the exact type you got? My LEDs look fine. I got the ones that didn't have a bulb on the top, just the sides, so there wouldn't be a hot spot.
