Re: The future of lamps, (and fixtures, and therefore, Everything), and also an upgra
Not quite a fair comparison. Most LED instruments include integrated dimming making the math on price comparisons a little fuzzy to say the least. Total cost of ownership (TCO) may be fairly comparable when relamp costs, power savings, dimming, electrical distribution and HVAC load are taken into account. The price/performance is not yet justifiable for a retrofit or addition to an existing facility but is worth considering for a new facility or if one is near the limit on available power or dimmer capacity.
