I have just bought some of thesehttp://www.nationallampsandcomponen...att-Candle-BC-Cool-White-LED-Lamp/29/417/2089

And am impressed, they are only 1 watt so not bright enough for most general lighting, but unlike CFLs and most LED lamps they give a sparkling effect.
Very attractive in crystal glass chandeliers and the like when only a moderate light level is required, but a sparkling effect is needed.

They use standard 5mm LEDs which dont have a good reputation, but these are well spaced out, and with only 9 in total should not get hot.

Light output seems similar to a 10/15 watt incandescent, I have run one for about 1,000 hours so far and it seems fine.
