The CT bulk LED site is 100leds.com.

Comet will sell you a single element LED with a frosted lens in bulk for $.29 each. IMHO these are a suitable replacement for standard 44/47 since it reduces LED hot spots and dissipates the light well.

Some don't like the look of the frosted lens - you can substitute a clear lens if you want something closer to an incandescent.

Some people don't like LEDs at all. That debate can be found on the site with search.

LEDs have come down in price. Lots of vendors now with great choices and prices. But replacing all bulbs with LEDs still costs more vs keeping working incandescent bulbs.

If you stay incandescent you can still make the game pop by pulling all the bulbs, cleaning them (dishwasher or tumbler) tossing any that test bad or have blackened lenses, cleaning the inserts while the bulbs are out and then reinstalling. You might be surprised how good the machine looks with clean incandescents.
