I'm shopping for a PAR38 dimmable LED lightbulb that is equivalent to a 100 watt flood lamp. I purchased one from www.eaglelight.com for $110. Although I like the quality of the bulb and it's dimming qualities, I'm looking for a dimmable bulb that is more affordable since I need 12 of them to light up my yard. I hear that LEDs are getting cheaper by the month, but I have not noticed a price drop since I've been buying LEDs. Does anyone have any suggestions where I can buy a full dimmable PAR38?
