The concensous on the field is way better, brighter, whiter light, with less energy consumption, and less voltage drop due to lower wattage. Only complaint is the LED’s are more prone to failure with lightining strikes than the incandescent.
The LED’s we used are 4W 360 Lumens 6000K, E17 base, Silicone coated. You can find them here:

Thanks - we'll look into those. Our manager has been buying Chinese LED ones by the box but they seem to the taller than the ones you show and don't fit well under the Wag Aero glass domes.
As far a lightning goes, it looks like we are pretty similar to your area....

We had a lightning detector station on our airpark for many years until Global Atmospherics Inc. of Tucson got bought out by Viasala, who made the map above. How the whole detector network works is quite interesting.
