LEDVANCE R7s LED bulbs

LEDVANCE R7s Retrofit LEDs – Efficient Halogen Replacement for Professional Use

The LEDVANCE R7s LED bulbs are engineered as direct halogen replacements for double-ended R7s fittings (78 mm and 118 mm). In commercial retrofits, this form factor is often found in floodlights, wall washers, and architectural luminaires where uniform linear light output is critical. The LEDVANCE retrofit line maintains the same R7s base, ensuring compatibility without rewiring.

In practice, installers replace 150 W halogen tubes with 15–18 W LEDVANCE R7s retrofit LEDs, achieving energy savings up to 85 %. Luminous flux values reach 2000–2450 lm, providing the same brightness with a warm 2700 K tone and CRI > 80. Thermal load drops significantly, protecting fixtures from heat degradation and extending service life.

LEDVANCE Linear LED Lamps – Technical Features and Performance

The LEDVANCE linear LED lamps are built with aluminum heat sinks and high-efficiency SMD chips, offering stable operation under voltage fluctuations from 220–240 V AC. Their universal double-ended base allows installation in both open and enclosed luminaires.
Key specifications for the 118 mm variant include:

  • Rated power: 15–18.2 W (equivalent to 125–150 W halogen)
  • Beam angle: 360° for full light distributio
  • Lifetime: up to 25 000 h
  • Color temperature: 2700 K / 3000 K / 4000 K options
  • Operating temperature range: –20 °C … +40 °C

These parameters make LEDVANCE linear LED lamps a stable choice for hospitality and retail environments, where long operating hours and constant light quality are required.

LEDVANCE Dimmable R7s Lamps – Flexible Lighting Control

For projects using lighting control systems, LEDVANCE dimmable R7s lamps support compatibility with leading and trailing-edge dimmers. The smooth dimming curve allows accurate brightness tuning without flicker, a key benefit in hotel lobbies, galleries, and conference halls.
From experience, installers should verify dimmer compatibility—LEDVANCE provides reference lists for approved control devices. Where non-dimmable versions are used, performance remains stable even with frequent switching cycles, which is often the case in corridor lighting and public facilities.

In retrofit projects, this one-to-one replacement reduces total operating costs and maintenance frequency. The lower heat profile makes LEDVANCE halogen replacement R7s suitable for enclosed luminaires, where halogen bulbs previously caused overheating.

LEDVANCE Linear Lighting Applications

From practice, LEDVANCE R7s retrofit LEDs are applied in:

  • Wall floodlights and outdoor projectors used for architectural illumination
  • Commercial interiors where halogen downlights need energy-efficient retrofits
  • Hotel corridors and public lobbies requiring warm, glare-free light
  • Private households replacing classic J-type tubes in floor lamps or uplighters

The consistent linear light pattern and compact base ensure minimal modification during replacement, making these lamps a preferred option for maintenance teams and facility operators.
