Convert Your Auditorium Lights to LED

When upgrading auditorium lighting, there are three basic LED retrofit options available:

1. GOOD: LED Lamp replacements for existing fixtures with existing dimming.
   This is the most affordable option, but dimming results can vary, generally 10-20% dimming on the low end.
2. BETTER: Fixture replacements with existing dimming.
   This option provides better dimming than LED lamp replacement, but it’s still not a precise of control as halogen lamps.
3. BEST: Fixture replacement with digital control.
   This is the most precise control over dimming, but it’s also the highest cost, as extra wiring needs to be run in most cases.
