Thanks for the input. Our town is allegedly developing a CFL recycling program. Until that time I've got a little collection of old bulbs. Even with the mercury issue I've been happy to gather them. What I worry about is that a lot of other people in the town may be switching over for cost savings or the green sheen, but likely tossing them in the trash. A very long-lived light source that is cheap and less toxic (LED) would be a wonderful change.
Lower-wattage bulbs for the mini-halogen would be the obvious solution, but the wife loves her track light and especially the intensity of light it puts off. It's the only one we've got right now so I'm willing to accept it.
I had sort of suspected that a different system would be required to dim an LED. I suppose I'll be able to make the switch when LEDs are mainstreamed enough that I can find a stylish LED track light that will come with domestic peace. Hopefully not too long!
