Hi,

I'm a little concerned with the optics of doing this: LED's have such a narrow beam, that getting them actually reflecting and (highly) visible from all angles. Some of the LED replacement bulbs have a center "hot spot" that shines straight back, and they have some around the rim to bounce off of the reflector, so you can see it from the sides, etc. Has anybody tried these?
