I swapped mine for an LED-equivalent bulb.

Yep. IKEA has a bunch of models. It's really great for providing indirect light to a whole space to combat glare. Mine also has a little reading light.

Does it light up as much? I remember those halogen things burning like the sun at max power. Not necessarily ro always have ofc but the light was very nice (IIRC).

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not as bright, but it might be the bulbs I chose.

They make 200W+ equivalent incandescent style LED bulbs these days. I have one as the only light in my garage and it's like the sun, but only uses like 13W.

I bought a R7S 118mm 30W LED dimmable (equivalent to 300W) and it's still not as bright as the halogen I had before, even when the dimmer is set to max.

[–] Solemn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looking up just a few of the first search results for R7S bulbs, I see LEDs around 3300 lumens and halogens around 4500 lumens, so that makes sense. I don't know if anyone makes a bright enough LED for your replacement.

I'm thinking there's possibly some confusion here too, due to the way they label bulbs. It looks to be like the halogen is rated to use 300W itself, whereas LED bulbs are labeled by their incandescent equivalent wattage. Halogens are significantly more efficient than incandescent bulbs, so I think you'd need someone to make a 350-400W equivalent LED to match.

That makes sense, thanks!
