Think I'll stick with non-LED till I change the fitting.


Running them slightly lower voltage can really help with lamp life. Either a dimmer or a series capacitor or choke to knock just 10v rms off can help.


Got a wiring diagram for that?


The choke or capacitor just goes in series with the feed to the fitting. Values need to be calculated for each total lighting wattage.
