My understanding one problem with the corn cob bulbs is the heat they produce. LED's produce heat out the back of each little bulb and the heat cannot escape. The heat trapped inside the bulb destroys it. Especially in an enclosed fixture. New, properly designed LED fixtures have become pretty economical. They put light out on the front and radiate heat out the back.
The second problem with the corn cob bulbs is that the reflector in the fixture is designed for a bulb that produces light in the center, and now you are putting a bulb in there that produces light on the exterior. It does not reglect like it should.
Thirdly, no matter how good your reflector, it will still absorb some light and turn it into heat.
I think you will be happier with a properly designed new fixture.
