Struggling with Poor Building Planning, Looking for Suggestions
So I work in a theater that is a converted barn. In our main performance space, our house light chandeliers are controlled via a dimmer in the basement (pictured). This would be fine for incandescent bulbs, but unfortunately, we use LED bulbs instead.
The reason we use LEDs is because of their longevity and the fact that these chandeliers are impossible to reach without renting a lift, and we simply can't afford to rent one every time an incandescent bulb expires. These lights get a lot of use every day.
We tried to purchase some "dimmable" LED Bulbs and test them on this dimmer pack, but they all suffer the same issue (to varying degrees). They flicker at low intensity, an effect that is very distracting and unpleasant. We tested 100 watt equivalent bulbs from various brands including Phillips and Feit.
I know our setup is far from ideal, but is there a solution to this issue that doesn't involve completely overhauling our lighting system? Obviously The easiest solution would be to find a 100W LED bulb that doesn't flicker but I understand why that might not be possible. The chandeliers in question use standard E26 sockets.
