We have a number of those "bedside lights" with a transformer in the

I've just used my last spare halogen bulb, I see there are loads of LED
replacements around.

For main domestic lights I have long since replaced halogens with LED
but I am not so bothered about energy saving or safety for bedside
lights, and I do find halogens give good light for reading.

Are LEDs OK in this type of light, or would you stick with halogens?
Presumably the crude power supplies work fine with LED?

TIA

I think the problem with the type of light you have could be the
physical size of the LED "bulb" compared to the halogen. From memory of
having similar light in the past was that the halogen just fitted.
However with lED running a lot cooler the glass cover could be discarded
giving more space.
