About Halogen Light Bulbs
Some of the halogen lines here are ending. Manufacturers can no longer supply several of the low voltage types, so what is in stock is what remains: MR16 and MR11 12V spotlights, G4 and GY6.35 capsules, and the general purpose G9. Once they are gone they will not be replaced. The heat resistant G9 oven lamps are the exception and continue, because no LED yet survives the temperature inside an oven cavity.
If you are replacing like for like while you still can, order what you need now. If you would rather move the fitting to LED and stop worrying about it, the section below gives the direct swap for every cap on this page.
The LED replacement for each halogen cap
Every halogen fitting on this page has an LED equivalent that fits the same holder.
- MR16 GU5.3 12V spotlights, swap to LED MR16
- MR11 GU4 12V spotlights, swap to LED MR11
- G4, GY6.35 and G9 capsules, swap to LED capsules
- GU10 mains spotlights, swap to LED GU10
- Golfball, swap to LED golfball
- Candle, swap to LED candle
- GLS, swap to LED GLS
Three things to check before you swap
Colour temperature is the one people notice. 2700K is closest to the warm light a halogen gives, and 4000K or above will look noticeably colder in the same fitting. If the fitting is 12V and runs through a transformer, check its minimum load, because a 20W halogen replaced by a 4W LED can fall under it and flicker or fail to strike; a dedicated LED driver solves it. And a dimmer built for a halogen load usually has to be swapped for an LED rated one, whatever the bulb packaging claims.
Where each cap is normally used
G9 in wall lights, bathroom fittings and cooker hoods. MR16 and MR11 in 12V downlights and display lighting. GU10 at mains voltage in ceiling spots. G4 and GY6.35 in under cabinet and cabinet lighting. R7s linear in floodlights, security lights and uplighters, in 78mm and 118mm lengths that are not interchangeable. AR111 in retail and gallery display. If you are unsure which you have, the cap is stamped on the base or printed on the old lamp.
