Overview

A double-ended R7s bulb, 118 mm long, for fittings that used linear halogen lamps. It gives 850 lm of warm white light at 2700K and draws 8 W.

It is the long R7s size. There is also a 78 mm size; the two are not interchangeable.

Installation and specifications

An R7s holder has a spring contact at each end. With the power off, press one end of the bulb against a contact and swing the other end into place. Measure the old lamp before ordering: this one is 118 mm from end to end.

Questions and answers

How do I know which R7s length I need?

Measure the old lamp or the distance between the contacts. The common sizes are 78 mm and 118 mm.

Is it dimmable?

Faro does not list this bulb as dimmable. Many uplighters have a built-in dimmer, so check the fitting first.

Is it wider than a halogen lamp?

It is 16 mm in diameter. Check that the fitting and its cover glass leave room for it.
