Changed sconce and pendant to LED

Something I have been meaning to do and finally got it accomplished. I changed the bulbs in my pendant light and living area wall sconce over to LED bulbs instead of the factory installed 1076 incandescent bulbs. The biggest difference is the heat. The old bulbs would generate so much heat that after being on for 15 minutes you could burn yourself if you touched the globe when turning off the light. Now after being on for over an hour the globes are cool to the touch.

One note, even though 1076 bulbs appear to be polarity neutral the LED bulbs are not and will not work if installed incorrectly. As luck would have it I installed all three wrong and initially thought I had bad bulbs. Behold, remove the bulbs, rotate them 180 degrees, reinstall and they work fine.

Surprises me that all other lights in the coach are LED but these were incandescent.
