[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 83752, member: 162"] Re: Replace PAR56 Side Prong Fixtures with LED PAR Based on quick Gooling, a 300W PAR56 bulb is around 5000 lumens, and a 500w is about 8800 lumens. An ETC Selador Desire D60 Studio [url=http://www.etcconnect.com/product.downloads.aspx?ID=22060]Lighting solutions for Theatre, Film & Television Studios and Architectural spaces : ETC[/url] claims to be 4600 field lumens, so roughly comparable to a 300W PAR56 bulb. This fixture is north of $1000, I believe, and still draws 161 watts - more than half the power of the conventional PAR bulb. That's going to take a long time to make back your money. Going another route - Philips EnduraLED Par 38 bulb: [URL]http://download.p4c.philips.com/l4b/9/929000192602_na/929000192602_na_pss_aen.pdf[/URL] 17w, 875 lumens. It will take 6 of these bulbs to make 5000 lumens, and 102 watts of power. These bulbs are ~$50 each, not counting fixtures and wiring, so probably $1000 for 6 fixtures. I'd stick with your current PARs. [/QUOTE]
