With the help of budgetlightforum.com and a few others, I learned about Sunlike technology.
A user named “SunLike” recommended purchasing “Remez” as a probe, I followed the recommendation.
During the November sale, I was able to purchase 10 Remez 5W E14 = (5 x 5700k) + (5 x 3000k).
Previously, we used a 6-light chandelier (5 side + 1 bottom).
Each light bulb had its own shade.
Now I want to implement a project for a chandelier with 8 or 10 bulbs with one single shade.
User “SunLike” warns about poor quality of components in “Remez” bulbs.
I want to use an autotransformer to lower the voltage.
For example Polar Bear ARTE 1.5 or TransLed AT-100-1.5a.
I also want to add a small quiet fan for forced airflow.
If the label specifies the correct voltage for the bulbs is the same that your chandelier provides, I do not know of a reason to lower the voltage. That might be acceptable if the bulb can accept different voltages, but would probably not help the bulb last longer.
If the components are poor quality and you are worried about them getting too hot in a chandelier with 8 to 10 bulbs in one diffuser, then you are thinking correctly that you should ensure there is good airflow to the bulbs. If the diffuse is open at the top and bottom, it may naturally have good airflow. Otherwise, a fan may help.
It is hard to predict how long the bulbs will last in diffuser that does not allow good airflow until you try it and see if it does not work.
Biggest problem with LED bulbs is heat that accelerates aging of electronics, especially cheap capacitors.
Lowering the voltage won’t change that since they use constant current drivers which will output the same power as long as there is enough voltage, and shut down or blink if there is not enough voltage.
