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.


How high are the ceilings?

Care to post a photo of them and the existing light fittings? That way the
next time I see something similar (or work on something similar) that has
been redone with LEDs I can take some photos and give you some ideas to
pinch for future use.

I do from time to time work in church halls, village halls and similar
buildings. I always find them to be one of the most rewarding of jobs.

But that’s because you help yourself from the collection box.
