[QUOTE="Ardet R, post: 471881, member: 30040"] The intended replacement lamp would be a 400 W 118 mm R7s linear halogen lamp, the fitting says 500W but this is the even less efficient version. Unless you really need that level of brightness then go for at most a 200W lamp or less but ensure it is 118mm not 78mm, preferably use a 10W or so LED replacement version where you would no longer need to use the glass shield but the brightness would be less than the 400W halogens.
