OK guys, sorry to post another halogen to LED replacement post but this is different. After scouring the web and looking at all the disc type I was confused
until I found this website:
LED Light Bulbs and LED Lighting at the Best Price | EarthLED.com They carry a new type of LED, it's not a disc, it's the size of the 5w halogen and it dims with the standard 3-way switch!
As of right now there is only one type it's a 3 watt 3000K bulb. I got one today and tried it side-by-side to the halogen, it's whiter and brighter but not objectionably so.
