See the Retro-HPL. I don't know anything about them other than an ad in one of the trade mags. Looks to be white (3000 K) only. Appears one loses lens-change ability; beamspead is determined by the reflector, which is part of the retrofit.
Question though, if we were to go Echo for architectural, would that be able to control a small dimmer rack for the house lights?
So as it Stands right now, we have this huge Strand transfer panel that whenever power is cut to the room, it switches the house lights from the dimmer racks to the generator/school power. I know that when the house lights were moved to LED, that was a very expensive project and required lots of at height work on scaffolding.Yes.
As others have said, line-voltage dimming of retrofit-style LED's tends to not provide the best results. Not sure I would try to bite that off in this project or not. Really depends on budget constraints because depending on the size of your venue that can add a lot of at-height labor and materials which can get expensive. Might be a 10-year plan project instead of a 3-year plan project, but something that also plays into this is how you are achieving your emergency lighting currently and if an overhaul of architectural lighting/power would need to be addressed at this time in some form anyway.
BTW, in addition to the Echo panelboards, ETC also has smaller Foundry devices that are when you need a circuit here or a circuit there, so there could be cases where it's easier to spread some of those smaller devices around rather than try to tie it all into one big Echo panel. That's where someone has to do a site survey of your project and really analyze which upgrade path is going to be the most cost-effective.
