Want to reduce your energy use or switch to more sustainable lighting? Replacing your R7s halogen lamp with an LED is a smart move. This article explains exactly how to do it safely and correctly. Check out our full range of R7S LED tube lamps.
An R7s halogen lamp is a tubular bulb with contacts on both ends. It’s often used in floodlights, work lights, and tall floor lamps. These bulbs are bright and powerful but consume a lot of energy.
LED lighting is more energy-efficient, lasts longer, and produces less heat than halogen. You save on your energy bill and reduce replacement costs. In most cases, an R7s LED can fit directly into the same socket.
Lamp length: R7s bulbs come in sizes like 78 mm, 118 mm, and 189 mm. Measure your old one.
Wattage and brightness: Choose a LED with similar lumens. A 100W halogen equals about 10W LED.
Dimmability: Not all LEDs are dimmable. Check your current dimmer or upgrade it.
Socket and voltage: Must match (R7s, 230V).
Turn off the power at the switch or breaker.
Let the lamp cool if recently used.
Remove the old halogen lamp carefully.
Insert the new R7s LED lamp with matching length.
Turn power back on and test.
Ensure ventilation around the lamp for longer LED life.
Use a compatible LED dimmer if needed.
Test before sealing the fixture.
