[SML] Selling things

[Philip Johnson]

I'm getting ready to demo some led replacement pars I found online. They
fit the form factor of a par lamp and don't need a transformer to work.
I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with these style replacements.
The venue I'm helping a friend with is a church that has architectural
fixtures that use both par 64's and 56's.  They don't have money to redo
their lighting with new fixtures and these seem like a good retrofit.

I've seen similar lamps on alibaba and amazon as well as other sites.  This
might be an option for some folks.
