I'm slowly moving towards a life where I don't have to keep changing lightbulbs and my kids check them out if they let it Light on. Gradually I experimented and tried to figure out which LED lamp would replace which function. Interior lighting without a cover (e.g. you can look directly at the bulb): Soft white is a must. I have VERY few places where I can use a fluorescent light. They are insanely bright and hurt your eyes. - A 60w (9w) replacement is great when the light is over the sink or stove and the ceiling is high. But the 60W replacement is far too bright when you have to look directly at the bulb. A 40w (7w) replacement is what you want to replace with a >= 60w conventional bulb. For example, my vanity light was not suitable for a 60W (9W) replacement. Absolutely painful to look at. And the 40 watt replacement (7 watts) is actually brighter than the standard 60 watt bulbs I pulled out. want. You should buy lightbulbs that are clearly safe for indoor use. I bought https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015R68O8Q/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for interior lights. LEDs must have a heat sink from them. The sphere around the bulb does not circulate air. You need to find a bulb that says (a) "Suitable for enclosed fixtures" and not (b) "Do not use in enclosed fixtures". Good luck and have fun.
