Does anybody know about replacing incandescent lamps with LED replacement lamps?
We are planning on replacing our house light system- the current system uses (30) 500w flood fixtures to light the space.
I talked with a local vendor who was pushing LED replacement lamps that would mount into the existing fixtures, but it seems to me there would need to be some kind of voltage converter involved, and this whole problem is compounded by the fact that I need them to dim like the incandescent lighting we have in place. They also need to be controlled by our light board.
I have already looked into a dimmable CFL, but there are no CFLs, that are dimmable AND comparable to the output of these incandescent fixtures. Also I like the idea of LED- in that the life of the lamp is longer, and when they do go out- there's no need for special recycling of the lamps.
Thanks
