You just gave me green balls.
Those were not meant for a light socket Peter.
Anyway, the new LEDs are in place and lit up quite nicely. I was hoping to get more of cool white light (these ones were 'soft' white 3000K, up slightly from the 2400K 'warm' white). I had a choice to get a natural daylight bulb (5000k), but the bulb size was larger (more typical of a full size incandescent bulb) and would have stuck out the bottom of this fixture which required a stubbier bulb (but still a standard medium base).
