Par 36 - LED, Dimmable, Help!

[DavidCoull]

Hi All.

 

Once again I am in need of your help and opinions. I have about 25 Par 36's that I am looking to get working again. The idea is to have about 4 permanently wired bars with 5/6 units on each. I have tried looking for 240v Par 36 (or similar size) lamps but with no positive result. I have managed to find 12v lamps but they don't give the Wattage that I was hoping for and NSP aren't commonly available anymore. Standard 28v ACL lamps are also an option but this would mean wiring in series and I was hoping to have individual control of each unit. I have come across an option that I was fairly optimistic about and that was the Tungsram LED Par 30 Lamp. Unfortunately, these come with a lovely bit of residual current so would never really look great as an aesthetic thing when going to blackout for example.

 

Does anyone have any other ideas or can share experiences before I settle for a not so perfect solution?

 

Many Thanks.

Visage do a RGB par a touch bigger than 36 but nowhere near 56 The early versions used 5mm leds, later versions use RGB cobs. No idea of power but I'll guess 7x 3W.
