You are looking for a halogen bulb and you have trouble finding the product you are looking for? It's normal. Since September 2018, it is forbidden for sellers or wholesalers to replenish their stocks of halogen lamps. The goal is, of course, to fight against the consumption of electricity. This article offers you to shed light on this ban on halogens.

1) Prohibition of halogens: a logical consequence of the ban on incandescent bulbs

The halogen ban is a logical continuation of the elimination of the 2009 incandescent lamp market. Since the sale was not banned so as not to throw in the trash the existing stocks, which would not have been very ecological, we could find in the trade of halogens after the prohibition. Wanting at all costs to stay on a halogen bulb has however very little sense. Not only LED equivalents can achieve the same brightness but at a much lower the cost in terms of power consumption.
Of course, LED is more expensive to buy, but the difference is quickly amortized thanks to savings pocketed. In addition, this ban has boosted the manufacture of LED bulbs, which means they are cheaper and cheaper.

2) What are the conditions for replacing a halogen bulb with an equivalent LED?

How to choose the base of your LED bulb?

None, from the moment the base is identical, the LED bulb is suitable for your installation. You have nothing to do ... except change the bulb. Another advantage of the LED bulb, in addition to its minimal consumption: it can be coupled to a dimmer to be able to modulate the intensity of your lighting.

How to choose the power of its LED bulb?

When one is not accustomed to the wattage of LED bulbs, there is something to be destabilized. The LED bulb produces much more lumens per watt of consumption, their wattage is much lower than that of conventional bulbs. Depending on the product, from 5 to 10 times more. But, rest assured, the equivalent of a conventional bulb is most often indicated, which allows you to get an idea of ​​the power offered by an LED bulb that you buy online, for example.

3) The prohibition of halogen, an aesthetic concern? No!

If you look at your old bulbs for aesthetic reasons and you feel that the halogen ban will ruin your decoration, rest assured. Given the growing demand for LED, these bulbs are now available in many models. Especially in imitations of old bulbs that integrate LED technology. The nostalgic filament need not worry about this prohibition of halogens. Substitutes exist. And they consume much less electricity!
