[SML] Par 38 90w incandescent bulbs

[Riter, Andrew]

Hi everyone:

as the world moves forward with LED conversions, leaving older theatres who don't want LED house lights blinking on or off for every house on/off, it appears I need to source Par 38 90w INCANDESCENT or Halogen bulbs.

I'm told that Gescan, Guilevin and City ELEC can't / aren't supplying them anymore.
(I'm in Vancouver BC)

does anyone know who is still making them?
does anyone have a supplier for them?
(willing to try to convince UBC to ship them here)

I might need to buy a 5 year supply, so I can wait to get funding and installation for a constant power / DMX controllable house light. . . . .

Or failing finding a supply:
What is the best screw in, retro-fit LED Par 38 90w equivalent that dims on Strand CD-80 dimmers  (willing to look at buying new LED friendly modules, if that is what it takes).

Thanks.
