1. A lighting device having a plurality of replaceable LEDs, comprising:
- a heat dissipating body having a first end and a second end spaced from the first end;
a screw-base interface configured for attachment to the first end of the heat dissipating body and further configured to attach to and receive electrical power from a standard Edison-type socket;
an electrically insulative member positioned between the screw-base and the first end of the heat dissipating body;
a cap member having an outer surface extending between a base region and a second region spaced from the base region, the base region being configured for attachment to the second end of the dissipative body, the cap member having a plurality of apertures spaced about the outer surface;
a plurality of inserts, one insert positioned within each aperture and configured to receive a socket base;
a plurality of socket bases, one socket base positioned within each insert; and
a plurality of LEDs, one LED removably threaded into each socket.

Abstract
The present invention is a light generation device utilizing higher efficiency LED'"'"'s while also allowing for interface with current lighting interfaces. The LED'"'"'s are replaceable in the unit and may be interchanged with other LED'"'"'s to affect lighting mood and style or simply for replacement in the event an LED ceases to function.
