FAQs
What is the difference between this LED bulb and a traditional halogen R7s bulb?
This LED bulb uses 7.2W of power to produce the same amount of light as a 60W halogen R7s bulb. It also lasts significantly longer (up to 15,000 hours) and consumes less energy, making it more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
Is this bulb dimmable?
The Philips CorePro 7.2W LED Linear Light Bulb is generally not dimmable. It is designed for standard on/off operation. Using it in a dimmable fixture may cause flickering or damage to the bulb. Always check your fixture's specifications for LED compatibility if dimming is required.
What does 4000K mean for the light color?
4000K refers to the color temperature of the light. It is considered 'cool white' light, which is bright, crisp, and neutral, often preferred for task lighting, kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial spaces for its clarity.
How long will this bulb last?
This bulb has an impressive lifespan of up to 15,000 hours, which is considerably longer than traditional halogen bulbs.
Can I use this bulb outdoors?
Yes, this bulb is suitable for outdoor applications such as security lights and floodlights, provided the fixture itself is rated for outdoor use and protects the bulb from direct water ingress.
What R7s size does this bulb correspond to?
This bulb uses the R7s fitting, which is a standard double-ended linear halogen replacement base. Always confirm the specific dimensions required by your fixture.
What is the energy efficiency class of this bulb?
This bulb has an energy efficiency class of E, which is an average rating for LED technology, still representing significant savings compared to older incandescent or halogen bulbs.
Troubleshooting
Bulb does not turn on
Ensure the light fixture is receiving power and the bulb is correctly seated in the R7s socket. Check if the fixture switch is on. If the bulb is in a dimmable fixture, confirm compatibility as this bulb is not designed for dimming.
Flickering light
Flickering can occur if the bulb is not fully seated or if the fixture's power supply is unstable. Try reseating the bulb. If flickering persists, the fixture's compatibility with LED bulbs may be an issue, or the fixture itself might require attention.
Reduced brightness over time
LEDs are designed for consistent brightness over their lifespan. If a noticeable dimming occurs, ensure the bulb is clean and properly installed. Extreme heat can affect performance; ensure the fixture allows for adequate ventilation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the power to the fixture is switched off before attempting to replace the bulb. Carefully remove the old R7s halogen bulb and insert the Philips CorePro LED Linear Light Bulb into the R7s socket, ensuring a secure fit. Once installed, restore power and test the light.
Compatibility: This bulb is designed for luminaires that accept the R7s linear base type. It is a direct replacement for 60W halogen R7s bulbs. Always verify your fixture's compatibility with R7s linear bulbs before purchasing. It is not suitable for dimmable fixtures unless explicitly stated by the fixture manufacturer that it is compatible with LED replacements.
Care: This LED bulb requires minimal care. Keep the bulb clean by gently wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth when the fixture is powered off and the bulb has cooled. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
