<SNIP>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.

All;
I try not to do this often, but in this case it I feel it is 100% appropriate.
We make a product called ArcLamp that is specifically designed for this application.
It uses the existing power source and is available in multiple base types and globe forms.
It I designed to eliminate any rewiring needs inside your chandelier or infrastructure. You replace your current incandescent lamps with ArcLamps and then somewhere in line between the power source and lamp, install the remote Arclamp driver. These are wall or rack mount. We make several sizes depending on how many individual circuits and lamps you need to control. The Driver is controlled via either DMX or ArcMesh (A wireless transmitter designed for all our ArcSystem drivers and lamps).
When added to an existing system using forward or reverse phased SCR-based dimming (I.E. most conventional dimming systems) best practice is to set those dimmers to either switched on at 1% or leave them on and let the driver control intensity.
Within the LED itself in addition to white emitters, we have added red to mimic the red-shift you see in an incandescent as it fades.
We have seen this work with great success in multiple venues looking to replace incandescent There are videos and more information on our website
