<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I’ve been slowly replacing screw in
bulbs with LED replacements. Prices are dropping and the bulbs pay for
themselves quite quickly so it is not a bad interim solution. What is a waste
is that every bulb requires an ac-dc converter which may be a limiting factor
in the 30,000 hr life. I think the problem will be that the most accessible
cost option will be the mass produced replacement bulbs – so a dedicated
led lighting system with a larger converter will remain more expensive than
simply buying low cost cans and outfitting them with LED screw in bulbs.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Needed LEDs and Pot lights<br>
</span></font><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:
Arial'><br>
I am installing lights in new construction and have a quandary...I would like
potlights as they minimize visual disruption in a largish Dining-Living-Kitchen
area, but want to use installations that will accommodate LED lighting, when/if
prices come down.<br>
<br>
I've seen the Halo H3 assemblies, but can't find a Canadian distributor or
price...as well, at this early stage in development, don't know if the
lumen-equivalence claims are comprised significantly of snake oil.<br>
<br>
Does any one have any advice? Many thanks!<br>
<br>
