little retro lights

Any body ever use these little retro lights from vintage trailer supply? I am wondering if they are just too dim to be useful...

I'd consider using one for a porch light (looks like just what I need) but it doesn't seem to be LED, so it's out for me.

There is an LED one that looks the same here:

Pretty cheap, too. I was thinking one for each porch light and two paired in the galley.

Also, the bulb can be replaced with an LED bulb ... in your choice of colors.

I don't have direct experience with these so I'm guessing, but there should be enough light there to avoid stubbing a toe in the dark ... I doubt it would be enough to read by.

That's exactly what I need. The porch light I have is so bright it blinds the occupants of the next camp site, but it shines no light on the ground, so I can find my shoes etc.

And with only a couple of LEDs in it, I suspect the current consumption is even less than the 60mA my present porch light draws.
