Vagner Halogen Bulbs cover the classic lamp types that still matter in real projects: capsules for small spotlights and equipment, reflector lamps for retail highlights, linear tubes for floodlights and simple retrofit bulbs for domestic fittings. They are aimed at installers and maintenance teams who need reliable, compatible replacements for existing halogen luminaires rather than full LED redesigns. In projects where you still need compact, high-intensity light with excellent colour rendering, halogen remains relevant for specific tasks. Museums, galleries and specialised equipment that demand precise beams often rely on ushio halogen lamps, while design-driven retail and hospitality interiors use toplux halogen lamps to create crisp accent lighting on products and materials. Control panels, signal fixtures and technical points in industrial or infrastructure sites are frequently standardised on robust thorgeon halogen lamps, and multi-site retail or hotel chains that want a widely recognised reference line typically complete their assortment with sylvania halogen lamps so light quality stays predictable from one location to another.

By standardising on Vagner Halogen Bulbs across a site, you keep legacy fixtures working as intended while planning a gradual migration to newer technologies.

Product assortment of Vagner Halogen Bulbs

Low-voltage capsule Vagner Halogen Bulbs

These are the compact “bare” halogen lamps used inside many spotlights and devices:

Bases: G4, GY6.35 and similar two-pin formats
Voltages: typically 6 V, 12 V or 24 V
Wattages: from a few watts up to around 100 W
Applications: furniture lighting, compact downlights, projectors, medical and dental lights, microscopes, decorative fittings

The tiny filament makes it easy to design very slim luminaires or precise optical systems.

MR reflector Vagner Halogen Bulbs (MR11, MR16)

For accent lighting, the MR range is the workhorse:

MR11 – small diameter for cabinets, showcases and tight spaces
MR16 – 50 mm diameter for retail track spots, recessed downlights, garden spots
Typical voltage – 12 V via a transformer
Beams – narrow spot, spot, flood and wide flood options

Here, the reflector and filament are engineered together, so replacing the bulb restores both light output and beam quality.

GU10 and mains-voltage reflector lamps

Some installations avoid transformers and run directly on mains voltage:

GU10 twist-lock bases for recessed spots and compact track heads
Direct 220–240 V operation
Integrated front glass for safety and to protect the filament

These Vagner Halogen Bulbs are a direct fit for classic GU10 luminaires, especially where dimming and tight beams are important.

Linear R7s Vagner Halogen Bulbs

Linear halogens are used anywhere a strong line of light is needed:

R7s double-ended base
Standard lengths like 78 mm and 118 mm
Medium to high wattages for punchy output

Typical uses include floodlights on building façades, security lights, sign lighting and compact work-area luminaires.

Decorative retrofit bulbs (E14, E27)

For home and hospitality fittings, Vagner offers familiar retrofit shapes:

E14 candles and mini-globes for chandeliers, wall sconces and decorative pendants
E27 classic and globe bulbs for ceiling lights, table lamps and floor lamps
Clear or frosted glass depending on whether you want sparkle or softer diffusion

These are direct 220–240 V replacements for old incandescent lamps but with better efficiency and longer life.

Technical characteristics of Vagner Halogen Bulbs

Even as a conventional technology, halogen still has clear performance features:

High luminous intensity
Filaments run at higher temperature than standard incandescent, resulting in more light from the same wattage and a very bright, compact source.
Warm white colour
Most Vagner Halogen Bulbs sit around 2700–2900 K. The light feels familiar and comfortable, ideal for homes, hotels and restaurants.
Excellent colour rendering
The near-continuous spectrum of halogen light gives colour rendering close to 100. Textiles, food, artwork and skin tones appear natural and vivid.
Smooth dimming
Vagner Halogen Bulbs work with classic phase-cut dimmers without special drivers. Brightness changes are continuous, and the light warms in tone as you dim, which many users like for evening ambience.
Typical lifetime around 2,000 hours
When operated at nominal voltage with adequate ventilation, halogen lamps deliver predictable lifetimes. Overvoltage, heat buildup or frequent on/off switching will shorten this, so fixture design and usage patterns matter.

Construction and materials in Vagner Halogen Bulbs

The way these bulbs are built explains their performance and durability:

Quartz or high-temperature glass capsules
The inner capsule withstands high pressure and heat. Quality glass resists cracking and clouding, keeping light output stable.
Halogen gas fill and filament design
The halogen gas supports the “halogen cycle”, redepositing tungsten back onto the filament. This keeps the bulb clearer and improves service life compared with classic incandescent. Filaments are tightly wound to keep the source small and compatible with precise reflectors.
Reflector options
MR and GU10 Vagner Halogen Bulbs are available with aluminium reflectors for robust general use and, in many ranges, with coatings that help control spill light and improve cut-off. Consistent reflector geometry means consistent beams across different production batches.
Accurate caps and bases
E14, E27, GU10, GU5.3, G4, GY6.35, R7s and other bases are manufactured to standard dimensions so bulbs seat correctly in existing lampholders. Correct seating is essential for electrical contact, safety and in the case of MR lamps, for maintaining the designed focal point.

Typical application areas for Vagner Halogen Bulbs

Different Vagner sub-ranges naturally align with different applications:

Retail and display – MR16 and GU10 reflector lamps in track heads and recessed spots to highlight merchandise, shelves and feature walls.
Residential and hospitality – E14 and E27 retrofit Vagner Halogen Bulbs in decorative luminaires that rely on the look of a visible filament and smooth dimming.
Outdoor and security – R7s linear tubes in floodlights around loading bays, driveways and building entrances, where instant punchy light is more important than maximum efficiency.
Furniture and showcase lighting – G4 and MR11 lamps in under-cabinet lights, display cases and small niche spots.
Technical and medical equipment – low-voltage capsules in devices designed around halogen filaments as a precise point source.

If you map your fixtures by socket type, you’ll usually find that a handful of Vagner Halogen Bulbs families cover almost all of them.

How to choose the right Vagner Halogen Bulbs

To avoid wrong orders and premature failures, it helps to follow a simple selection process:

1. Identify base and form factor

Check the existing lamp and lampholder:

Is it a screw base (E14, E27), two-pin capsule (G4, GY6.35), GU5.3, GU10, R7s, or something more specialised?
For linear lamps and capsules in tight housings, measure overall length and diameter to confirm clearance.

2. Confirm operating voltage

Read the fixture label or old lamp marking:

Very low voltage (6 or 12 V) for projectors and special equipment
Common low-voltage lighting (12 or 24 V) for MR16 and capsules
Mains (220–240 V) for most decorative and GU10 lamps

Mixing a 12 V lamp into a mains fitting, or the other way around, is dangerous and will destroy the lamp.

3. Match wattage and heat limits

Stay at or below the maximum wattage printed on the luminaire:

Higher wattage means more heat, which can damage lampholders, wiring and shades.
In enclosed luminaires, consider using a slightly lower wattage to ease thermal stress and extend lamp life.

4. Choose beam angle for reflector lamps

For MR and GU10 Vagner Halogen Bulbs:

Narrow spot – for highlighting artwork, products or architectural details from a distance.
Spot / flood – for more general accent lighting.
Wide flood – where you need to wash a wall or larger area at close distance.

Correct beam selection often matters more than small differences in wattage.

5. Consider dimming and circuit design

On dimmed circuits:

Keep all lamps in the same zone with the same type and wattage to avoid uneven brightness.
Check that the dimmer’s minimum and maximum load are respected; halogen loads are usually straightforward, but mixing with LED later will require a check.

6. Standardise references across the site

For facility managers and procurement:

Define a shortlist of Vagner Halogen Bulbs for each common base (for example, one standard MR16, one GU10, one E14 candle, one R7s length).
Use those references consistently in all similar luminaires. This simplifies stocking, training for maintenance staff and visual uniformity.

Procurement of Vagner Halogen Bulbs through Bank of Lamps

From a purchasing standpoint, Vagner Halogen Bulbs belong to the conventional-lamps part of your portfolio. Working with Bank of Lamps as your B2B supplier allows you to:

Consolidate all Vagner Halogen Bulbs under one price agreement and one contact point
Order by EAN or manufacturer code instead of descriptive names, avoiding mix-ups between similar wattages or voltages
Keep high-rotation items (such as MR16 12 V, GU10 mains, E14 candles and R7s tubes) in local stock while drawing less common capsules or special bases from central warehouse inventory
Track usage and reorder patterns over time, so you know which luminaires still depend on halogen and where LED upgrades would bring the most benefit

Handled this way, Vagner Halogen Bulbs remain a stable, well-managed solution for all fixtures that still rely on halogen technology, while you transition other parts of the installation to modern LED systems at your own pace.
