Reply to "Direct Replacement LED Longevity"

I realize in your layout application you can externally add 1A diodes "before" the LED bulbs.  But for anyone who is ambitious and wants to add the diode inside the bayonet base, consider the 1N4148 which is rated at 0.2 Amps which is plenty for the application.  This is the diode used in the linked thread earlier where the LED-replacement bulb has both resistor and diode.

For that matter, you could also use an SMT diode, even smaller.  There's no reason you need leads for this application, just stick it in line with the bulb and put the assembly back together.
