Our premium collection of R7 bulbs offers a modern, energy-efficient solution for traditional linear light fixtures, delivering a powerful yet beautifully distributed wash of light. Designed to replace power-hungry halogen tubes, these sleek linear bulbs provide a comforting, reliable illumination that fills large spaces with ease, keeping your home feeling safe, bright, and perfectly styled.
Linear Design and Powerful Light Distribution
R7 bulbs (often referred to as R7s) are instantly recognizable by their distinct linear, double-ended capsule shape. Our modern collection features advanced LED elements housed within a slim, robust casing that fits precisely into standard spring-loaded ceramic holders. This clever engineering allows the bulb to emit a broad, 360-degree spread of clear, flicker-free light, ensuring that even large or deeply recessed fixtures are completely flooded with even illumination.
Seamlessly Fitting Your Large-Scale Fixtures
Because R7 linear bulbs are built to deliver a generous and powerful volume of light, they are the perfect choice for high-demand fixtures throughout your property. They sit beautifully within powerful living room floor lamps (especially uplighters that bounce light off the ceiling) and architectural wall lights that wash stone or plasterwork with warmth. They are also widely trusted in robust exterior security lights and floodlights to keep porches and driveways safe.
Remarkable Cooling and Energy Reassurance
Traditional halogen linear bulbs are infamous for drawing immense amounts of electricity and running dangerously hot. Our modern LED R7 collection completely solves this issue, running remarkably cool to the touch while using up to 90% less energy. This practical upgrade gives you complete confidence to leave your favorite uplighters or security lights on, knowing they are working safely and economically.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an R7 light bulb?
An R7 (or R7s) bulb is a linear, tube-shaped light bulb with metal contacts at both ends. It is a push-fit bulb commonly used in high-powered light fittings like uplighter floor lamps and outdoor security floodlights.
What sizes do R7 bulbs come in?
R7 linear bulbs come in a few standard lengths, with 78mm and 118mm being the most common in domestic lighting. It is essential to measure your existing bulb or light fixture socket carefully before purchasing to ensure a perfect fit.
Can I replace a halogen R7s bulb with an LED version?
Yes! Upgrading to an LED R7 bulb is a highly effective way to save energy. However, because LED versions can be slightly thicker than original halogen tubes, you should double-check the physical clearance inside your fixture's housing.
Are LED R7 bulbs suitable for outdoor floodlights?
Absolutely. Our R7 bulbs are highly durable and well-suited for outdoor use, provided they are installed inside an exterior light fixture that is fully sealed and weatherproof (IP rated).
