I tried a newer version of a 75 watt equivalent par30 Phillips bulb Lutron previously tested and it worked OK, though as expected it didn't dim as low as my halogens before turning off. I could make due with this. Too bad they don't make a 50 watt equivalent version though.I also tried a 60 watt equivalent Phillips candelabra bulb that Lutron said was approved for my Grafik Eye. This also worked OK when on full to medium brightness, but didn't dim down nearly as far as I wanted to match the current scene for movies. I never run the sconces at full brightness anyway so if I switched to a 45 watt or even a 25 watt version of the same bulb would it be dimmer at the low end before shutting off than the higher lumen version of the same bulb? Thanks for any help.Kind regards,Dennis
