Don't know of if any help but been buying a bunch of Cree CR6 Ecosmart
LED retrofit lamps for one of the boss's lately. I have no idea about them but possibly in not needing as long of a can size, these could work with mounting in the smaller snout they make viable.
Beyond that, there is lots of E-26 to E-26
socket extenders out there and they if the longer types with some work can be modified shorter to a custom length if you have the right taps. Also that 60 degrees is possible in a
PAR in beam spread. Flourescents,
LED's comperable to 300w on the other
hand the challenging thing - this beyond dimming curve. Yes in getting down to 20%
intensity,
house lights suddenly flicking out... really a problem with a long dim? If the
house fixtures are using those lamps and that's what is needed, doubt yet there is a
CFL, cold
cathode,
LED or other option for output that's dimmable available.
Aerotech as a lamp company if you can't find something better might still do or be able to make a 20,000 hour
filament lamp 300w or at least still be making 1,500
thru 2,000 hour lamps similar - suspect PS-25 lamps at least for some similar but lower output in exchange for a little less output. Don't know what they make in this wattage but it's a good place to ask. Obviously there will be a little
drop in output at that wattage for that many lamp hours though, and would qualify for an extrem hour lamp even if you didn't go
halogen or better. Assuming a
drop in output some,Osram #18970 100A/HAL/F I frequently find myself using in old school strip lights. Granted these lamps are A-19 and if PS-25 for the 300w lamps.... might need two
socket extenders at least (this without checking) to make it work and
socket extnders are not cheap.
For the most part, 300w medium screw replacement lamps are not on the horizon for the industry I suspect for this high of a wattage of lamp. It's probably a better idea to lamp what they can for now and plan on replacing them as per IMPACT and in general obsolete. New
house lights would be a better angle to plan for than what to replace the still available but becoming harder to get lamps.
