Collection: Halogen Bulbs

Yes. While the EU has phased out many standard halogen types for general lighting, certain halogen bulbs — including specialist capsules, G9, R7s linear types, and automotive bulbs — remain available. Our range covers the most commonly needed replacement types still in active use.

As a rough guide, an LED uses roughly one-fifth the wattage of a halogen for the same brightness. A 50W GU10 halogen is typically replaced by a 7–8W LED GU10; a 60W E27 halogen by a 9–10W LED E27. Check our LED Bulbs GU10 and LED Bulbs E27 categories for direct replacements.

In most cases, yes — LED G9 capsules are available as direct replacements and fit the same two-pin socket. Check the wattage and colour temperature of the LED equivalent to ensure it matches your fitting's design intent. Note that some older dimmer switches may not be compatible with LED G9 bulbs.

Yes, halogen bulbs operate at significantly higher temperatures than LED alternatives — the glass envelope can reach several hundred degrees Celsius during use. Always allow them to cool before handling, avoid touching the glass with bare fingers (oils from skin can cause hot spots and early failure), and ensure adequate ventilation in enclosed fittings.

Yes, halogen bulbs are inherently dimmable and work with most standard phase-cut dimmer switches without any compatibility issues. This is one area where halogen retains a clear advantage over some LED alternatives, which may require specific dimmable drivers or compatible dimmer switches to work smoothly.

Halogen bulbs typically produce warm white light in the range of 2700–3200K — slightly whiter and crisper than standard incandescent bulbs, but still warm. Their CRI (Colour Rendering Index) is close to 100, meaning colours appear natural and vivid under halogen light, which makes them popular in display and retail settings.
