E27 Halogens

[Lockie_1]

There has been a recent post about GU10 halogens and I seen these yesterday so I bought a couple I was wondering if they were the same thing with the same heat output just with the E27 fitting rather than using an adapter?

looks to the gu10 lamps just test it out mate they usually put out significant heat almost straight away

I'm using G9 halogen bulbs in my monitor enclosure, 2x 42w energy savers gets a 70c hot spot that is a little wider then a normal bulb.

I thought that the energy saving globes did not put out much heat. Heat is lost energy.

They are a halogen bulb, bi pin type into a ceramic fitting. They put out more then enough heat

Are you sure they are energy savers then?

Labeled "energy saver", they are a halogen so will put out high heat regardless. I run a 42w es27 osram for my beardie and that is also an "energy saver" halogen so it give a nice hotspot.

It is not a CFL type.

Yeah fair enough. I guess all down lights would be considered "energy saver" globes then and they are saving energy compared to an incandescent.

Even of they are energy savers I guess the bottom line is they are still 42 watts and a standard is 50 watts so. Are the energy savers an E27 fitting?

The benefit with halogens is that you get more heat from a lower wattage globe. Sounds like an energy saver to me.

If you took a couple of teaspoons of sugar out of coke it would be a lower sugar drink but you would not call it a diet drink. Yes the use less power than incandescent globes but they are still not a CFL which is what I consider a "energy saving" globe. I suppose it depends on the definition of "energy saving" and if it is the literal interpretation then yes they are saving energy but to me they are not.

Osama make a 42w halogen es27. 43c spot from around 20cm.

They look like the 50w Nelsons I use in my monitors enclosures.
