Thanks Bob, I just found some 9 watt on the same site that Gemstone sent me that has 4l0 lumens. I think I am going to try those. I tried 35 watt Halogen, but switch still getting really hot, so I removed one light and now using two lights instead of three and switch seems to be ok now. My only concern with the LED lights is that is has a narrower beam than the Halogen. With that being said, I am going to try them. The confusing thing about this whole ordeal is that my switch has not always gotten hot. If my memory serves me right, it has only happened a few times and I am not sure why. Anyway this time seems to be the worst, as touching the switch will nearly burn you and the plastic guards on the wire are black from being so hot.
Thanks to all who have offered suggestions.
