Agree about replacing lamps - we switched to LEDs BITD because replacing
burned-out lamps (especially when you're trying to fix some _other_ problem)
when there's something better available is just, silly.

What about warm white LEDs, though? The ones we used in the QSIC indicator
panel are, to me, pretty much indistinguishable from the lights as I recall
them from BITD. I mean, maybe if I had them sitting next to each other, I
could tell, but... Those are SMD, though, but maybe they are available
in bulb replacement form?
