Hi all
I have a light fitting in the hall which I am quite happy with.
The down side is that bulbs keep failing.
It takes push in G9 clear 40w bulbs which are housed in frosted
glass "shades" 38mm inside dia.
The questions a
Would LED equivalents be more robust/last longer?
very much so.
I prefer brighter light these days - can LEDs produce decent white
light?
yes. Get the CCT you want - filament lamps are typically 2700K warm white, halogens 3000K, cool white or daylight are much colder/bluer.

Thanks NT
But it looks like the increase in size moving to LED would have
the bulbs sticking out of the shades.
Think I'll stick with non-LED till I change the fitting.

Running them slightly lower voltage can really help with lamp life. Either a dimmer or a series capacitor or choke to knock just 10v rms off can help.
Got a wiring diagram for that?
