I'm seeking [dis]satisfaction feedback on LED replacements for
my 12VAC Tensor reading lamp. It uses a #93 automotive lamp but
any of the BA15S base replacements would work.

I find an incredible disparity in ones on line; some 88c, others $14.95.
Enlightenment welcomed.

Get another lamp, made with LEDs.   The AC power is not suited for most
automotive-style (DC) LED lamp replacements, in any case, but more
important, the LEDs won't have the same light distribution as the original.
It won't be anything like the lamp you like...

Or, maybe you can get a halogen replacement lamp (better color, longer
life, slightly more energy-efficient).
