pendant lights are rated 100w max.

Never put a photoflood 2 lamp in a pendant before?

and we used to have 200w ES ones in our village hall. Now using 120w
halogens - when I can still get them.


LED next?

possibly - but I haven't seen any with sufficient output yet and they'd
need to be dimmable.


You can certainly get them bright enough..

I don't think our hirers would like such a "cold" colour temperature

Finding a dimmable one will require a bit more googling.

I'd prefer to look at a trade show.

Fitting new LED panels is probably a better idea.

but it would probably involve a major rewiring job - and would involve
scaffolding because of the ceiling height. That might mean closing the hall
to hirers for a week. Not a good idea.
