FAQs

Can I use these bulbs in an LED fixture?

These are halogen bulbs and are physically compatible with standard 118mm R7S sockets, but ensure your fixture is rated to handle the heat output and wattage of a 120W halogen bulb.

Does the bulb require a warm-up period?

No, these halogen bulbs provide instant full brightness the moment the switch is toggled.

Can these be used outdoors?

Yes, they are ideal for outdoor floodlights, provided they are installed in a weather-resistant, IP-rated enclosure.

Why shouldn't I touch the glass with bare skin?

Oils from your skin can create hot spots on the glass surface, which can cause the bulb to crack or fail prematurely during operation.

Are these bulbs dimmable?

Yes, these bulbs are fully compatible with standard dimmer switches, allowing for precise control over light levels.

What is the color temperature of the bulb?

These bulbs emit a warm white light at 2900K, offering a balance between cozy ambiance and clear visibility.

Troubleshooting

Bulb flickers shortly after installation

Ensure the bulb is seated correctly and firmly in both ends of the R7S spring-loaded sockets. A loose connection often causes flickering.

Bulb fails to turn on

Verify the power supply at the wall switch and confirm the R7S fixture socket contacts are clean and free of corrosion.

Bulb brightness is inconsistent

If using a dimmer switch, check that the dimmer is compatible with halogen loads and is not set below the minimum wattage requirement.

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.
