Re: Updating salon/cabin lighting
Some leds are compatible with dimmers. It may be hit or miss. I ve recently installed LED rope lights and they work with standard dimmers

Re: Updating salon/cabin lighting
i used imtra replacement led's that fit in the halogen g4 housing, they have worked perfect for about 5 years now. ialso added dimmers where the switches were, the dimmers switch has to be made for led's i did have to replace one dimmer last year. dont remember the brand of dimmer but it came from either 1000 bulbs .com or superbright led's.co. they are a slide dimmer with a rocker switch below the slide, they fit into standard household boxes. this was on a 12v system

Wiredup, used the wiring that was new in 2000, all of the fixtures use only 2 wires, some LED fixtures need a 3rd wire for the dimmer.

marinebeam in charleston sc makes plug and play replacements for the legacy Hatts in 32 volt. call them. they can save you a LOT of time with bulbs that won't fail.
the website isn't fabulous for getting the correct item for your use, so I suggest calling.Mal

Re: Updating salon/cabin lighting
If you currently have 24v lighting why not just change out the lights for Imtra units. It might cost a lot but at least you will have a decent product, more light, and no heat. You can fool around with a bunch of Chinese bulbs and crap but it will end up just being a pain in the long run.
