Osram HALOLINE PRO Halogen Bulb 48W 230V R7s Warm White

The Osram HALOLINE PRO 48W 230V R7s halogen bulb is a high-quality, energy-efficient lighting solution designed to provide brilliant, warm white illumination. Engineered for versatility, this tubular lamp serves as a direct replacement for standard halogen bulbs, offering consistent performance with a high color rendering index of 100, which ensures that colors appear natural and vibrant in any environment. Its compact design and R7s base make it compatible with a wide range of fixtures, providing reliable light for both residential and professional settings.

Advantages

This halogen bulb stands out due to its ability to deliver excellent accent lighting while maintaining a lower thermal output compared to standard halogen alternatives. It is an environmentally conscious choice that produces significantly lower CO2 emissions. The bulb is fully dimmable, allowing users to adjust the intensity of the light to suit their specific needs. Furthermore, it operates directly on 230V mains voltage, eliminating the need for an external transformer, and it is completely mercury-free, making it a safe and straightforward lighting component.

Suitable for

• General indoor illumination
• Entrance and pathway lighting
• Accent lighting to emphasize room structures
• Commercial spaces such as shops, restaurants, and hotels
• Offices and public buildings
• Outdoor areas when installed in suitable, weather-protected luminaires

This bulb may not be suitable for applications requiring long-term energy efficiency comparable to modern LED technology, as its 2000-hour lifespan is significantly shorter than that of solid-state lighting. Additionally, it is not recommended for use in enclosed fixtures that lack adequate ventilation, as the heat generated during operation could potentially shorten the bulb's service life or damage the surrounding housing.

Key specifications

• Power: 48 W
• Voltage: 230 V
• Base type: R7s
• Luminous flux: 750 lm
• Color temperature: Warm white
• Color Rendering Index (CRI): 100
• Dimmable: Yes
• Average lifetime: 2000 hours

To install the Osram HALOLINE PRO, ensure the power supply is switched off and the fixture has cooled down completely. Carefully insert the R7s ends into the corresponding spring-loaded sockets of your luminaire, ensuring a secure fit without applying excessive pressure to the glass tube. Once installed, restore power and test the dimming functionality if your switch supports it.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing fixture is compatible with the R7s base and the physical dimensions of the tubular bulb.
• Ensure the fixture is rated for a 48W load.
• Consider the shorter lifespan compared to LED alternatives if the light is intended for high-frequency use.
• Check that the luminaire provides sufficient ventilation to manage the heat output.

For optimal performance and safety, always handle the bulb with a clean, dry cloth or gloves to prevent skin oils from leaving residue on the glass, which can cause hot spots and premature failure.
