LED light question [not really boat-related]

[Wittenham]

Do any of you know if there is an LED version of these halogen lights?

 

I have a smart lighting system at home that includes dimming, etc, and have swapped most of the halogens for LED, but not sure replacements exist for these.

 

thanks in advance

probably won't dim though.

I find LED lights even though stated as dimmable really only have half ON, to full ON in about 4 steps unlike a hot filament bulb which goes from dim glow to full ON smoothly

thanks, and it does say:  Dimmable: Not Dimmable 2835SMD
  

so I will need to give it a miss.  Would you know if dimmable is available at all?  And I agree that it is not much of a gradient on the dimming.

That’s caused by a dimmer that’s not designed for LEDs. Some top end dimmers have selectable settings for tungsten, halogen or led. The waveform for LEDs is very different.

Put r7s dimmable into eBay, lots of options to consider
