Upgrade from Halogen to LED

I got full halogen led replacements bulbs from the eBay. The led replacement bulbs are really amazing at brightness, huge savings on electric duties. Very nice experience. Soluna Green

Ive looked around. Those are what I've been looking at. There are also 50w versions. I'm trying to find a supplier in the US to buy/try till I find the right one with the correct amount of light. I don't want to go the route of buying and being stuck with the ones that don't work for the task as I would like two units. Too bright could also be a problem with certain colors.

According to what I have read. A 500 watt halogen bulb produces 10,000 lumens. A 50 watt LED flood light with a color temperature of 5000-5500K (Day White) produces 5000 lumens.

I think the ideal would be units with dimmable LEDs; then the output could be matched to the circumstances.
 
Is there such a thing as a dimming LED? I don't think that's possible because I think they light up with a specific voltage
 
While wandering around SEMA I noticed it was invaded with new vendors offering Leds in a multiple of varieties.From strips and bulbs to off- road fixtures. Some of the off-road lights ranged from 6 bulb to bars that went all the way accross a roll bar or bumper with 30 or more bulbs. you could vary the lighting by having a variable of lamps on one stand.I was thinking these would make great detailing lights to replace the halogens on my stands. They are already self contained so to say and would be easy to mount on a stand or existing fixture.

I can agree here. When I first started looking into this there was not as much available. Laying out a few prototypes with Cree bulbs was not going to be cost effective.
There are so many more options now and price has come down considerably. It's still too expensive to make something from scratch.
