Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the 118mm R7S bulb is straightforward: ensure the power is off at the mains before handling the fixture. Gently compress the spring-loaded contacts of your R7S fitting and insert the bulb ends into the ceramic sockets. Never touch the glass surface of a new halogen bulb with your bare fingers, as oils from your skin can cause localized hot spots on the glass, leading to premature failure; use a clean, dry cloth or tissue to handle the bulb. These bulbs are compatible with any standard R7S linear floodlight fitting. To maintain performance, ensure the light fixture housing is free of dust and debris, as excessive heat buildup within the enclosure can reduce the service life of the filament.
