Yeah, or so I thought. I got some really, really bright ones to experiment with. I think the problem is the red plastic lens as I tried super bright white and red LEDs to see which looked best. The red ones won out in the end.
The one thing that would make a real difference is the reflector, as it is designed for filament lamps. I even toyed with the idea of fitting the LEDs ar5e first so that they would shine directly into the reflector - it would work but arranging the LEDs to stay in the perfect position was just too awkward. The other awkward thing is the the reflector is very shallow, so I was unable to mount the LEDs back far enough.
I will sort something out, just haven't decided what yet.
