[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 125417, member: 162"] Re: Par 38's - LED replacement bulbs? How many lumens are the bulbs you are trying to replace? From memory, I had some 300w flood bulbs that were actually dimmer than 120w or 150w (can't remember) actual entertainment PAR bulbs. Philips makes great LED PARs and have ones up to "120w replacement" (19.5w actual): [URL]http://www.homedepot.com/p/Philips-120W-Equivalent-Bright-White-3000K-PAR38-LED-Flood-Light-Bulb-E-423426/203321688[/URL] that are 1200 lumens which may be enough, or not. Dimming requires special dimmers - typical tree pack dimmers won't work - they will flicker. You need either a purpose-built LED dimmer like this: [URL]http://www.dfd.com/dmx8dim.html[/URL] or something else qualified for LEDs. [/QUOTE]
