Im excited to buy my first (used) trackspots! A few days after ordering them I see the article about the trackspot Bolt! but even before reading that article, I was dreaming of ways to replace the halogen lamp with a LED. I searched high and low and could not see a suitable led with the right size/lumens until the trackspot bolt gave it away. The CBM-360 by Luminus cost about $160.. and it is a mere 1.5 inches square which seems like it would fit.
So my questions are ..
1) Am I crazy to attempt this?
2) The CBM-360 is rated at 14.4 volts, 6.3 amps, Trackspot bulb was 24v. Ohms Law calculations suggest a difference of only 1.5 ohms resistance so even though I am not an electronics person, it seems it would work?
3) Will it dim correctly?
4) Is there a DC/AC power issue?
Other than that it seems HES left plenty of room in the trackspot bulb compartment for a heatsink, replacement reflector (if necessary), and other LED goodness mods. The goal is to use less power (be able to use more on the same circuit), and eventually replace the heavy power supplies while having better light output and quality
Please someone chime in!
