[SML] Dimmable Medium Screw Base LED lamps

[Riter, Andrew]

Check in with Vancouver Civic Theatres.  Orpheum Theatre specifically.

Brendan was one of the Head Electricians, now TD for all venues.  He was Head LX at the Orpheum.

The city, without informing the venue, went and changed all the chandelier and sconces from normal to LED versions.

It was not a roaring success.

Brendan (and Leonard before him) did a lot of work, making profiles, setting max levels (the LEDs were blinding), etc., trying to massage something better.

Talk to Brendan, and see what advice and solutions he has.  I don't know if there is a perfect product for you, or if you can only adapt and improvise.

Good luck

Hi all,
Unicorn hunting....
Is there a line of medium screw base replacement lamps that have "theatrical grade" dimming?
I know we recently had the discussion of Par 64/56 replacements, but I'm looking for screw-in replacements.

I have a friend who has chandeliers which they love, but want to convert the lamps over to LED... Dimming performance is critical.
I would usually try to steer them to just replacing the fixtures with LED house lights, but that is not an option here.
