Replacing Halogen Bulbs with LED Bulbs

Our maintenance staff want to replace all of the halogen bulbs in our auditorium can lights with LED bulbs. We have the house lights on the same Sensor racks as our theatrical lighting and we control it all with the Paradigm system and an ETC ION control board.

Can they work well? Do you recommend a certain brand or style? Are there any risk to the dimmers themselves?

The LED's do say dimmable but I know we would have to work on the dimming curves to get the most out of them.

Any help would be appreciated

  • Unfortunately there aren't any easy answers when it comes to LED replacement lamps.  We've seen that even different lamp models from the same manufacturer can behave completely differently, so it's impossible to make any accurate generalizations.  The only way to know for sure how a specific product will perform is to test it. 

    If you have a product in mind that you're looking at using, your best bet is to send an email with the details of the lamp and your system to aesupport@etcconnect.com to check whether it's one that's been tested before.  If not, then we may ask that samples be sent in for testing.
