R7s refers to a double-ended, linear base type used for halogen lamps. This specific lamp is 118mm in length with this base type.
No, this lamp is specifically engineered for professional catering environments and heated displays. It requires compatible professional fixtures.
The lamp is CE approved and manufactured to comply with EN60335-1:2005, EN60335-2-30:2003, Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC, and RoHS directive.
You can replace it if your fixture is designed for an 118mm, R7s base, double-ended linear lamp and can accommodate a 400W wattage.
Always ensure the lamp is cool before cleaning. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
Check that the power supply to the fixture is on. Ensure the lamp is correctly seated in the R7s sockets at both ends. Verify the fixture itself is functional and the circuit breaker has not tripped.
This may indicate a poor connection at the socket. Turn off power, allow to cool, and reseat the lamp. If flickering persists, the fixture may need servicing.
Ensure the lamp is clean and free from dust or debris. Check for any obstructions blocking the heat output. If the lamp is old, its performance may have degraded, and replacement might be necessary.
Setup: Ensure the power supply is switched off before installation. Carefully insert the R7s double-ended lamp into the compatible socket, ensuring a secure fit. Once installed, the lamp can be operated by switching on the power to the fixture.
Compatibility: This lamp is designed for fixtures specifically accepting 118mm, R7s base, double-ended linear halogen lamps. Always verify that your existing heating fixture is compatible with the wattage (400W) and type of this lamp before installation. It is intended for use in professional catering equipment only.
Care: Allow the lamp to cool completely before handling or cleaning. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or liquids. Ensure the fixture and surrounding areas are kept clean to maintain optimal performance and prevent dust accumulation.
