I've found and ordered this 50 lumen amber LED bulb with (standard) medium E26 base. It was not easy to find, rather expensive at $14.32, and 1000Bulbs.com charged me over $10 standard UPS shipping for one tiny bulb.
But just what I was looking for, and hopefully will last almost a decade or more and I won't have to worry about replacing the tiny 7w incandescent bulbs with 50 lumen output ever 7 months or whatever. The only place I found that 7w bulb now was also 1000Bulbs.com. I got them online last time, but can't remember where.
I still like my Miracle 2W bulbs. I know many hate them because they don't put out as much light as conventional bulbs, and the 50W equivalence seems rather exaggerated (I think more like 30W). But I still find it a good amount of light for my back yard. I notice the light is made of lots of LED's and I wonder if they are simply in series and thereby avoiding the need for a power supply--the usually most unreliable part which also wastes energy. I think these bulbs are special and I hope they keep making them. Andy they now cost less than the overpriced 50 lumen bulb (7.5W equivalent) I just bought which seems to have just one big LED.
