Mule LED Festival Lamp Bulbs

Mule Lighting now has their LEDison series of LED lamps which are meant to replace standard incandescent lights for decorative applications. Unlike most other LED lights, these fit into standard Edison-base sockets (hence the name LEDison.) These can be used just like compact flourescents with no special fixtures required.
