They are not cheap, and finding them used is hard to do. The design has been the same for years and years, and they are pretty indestructible, so people rarely get rid of them.
As for power, all of them are at least 2 cords, sometimes more. They also just plug into a regular old dimmer like you said. As for cool down time, they cool down like a standard Par would.
Elation use to make an LED version called the
ELED Blinder 48. Maybe try looking for one of these?
