Can the halogen bulb be replaced by an LED bulb? Need to keep the earth as green as possible!

Haven't tried it, but if it has the correct base and is dimmable, then it should be OK

I used the light cover to conceal the light all together-- so I'm not using the light at all. Even greener, right? ;) Sorry I couldn't' answer your question.

I replaced mine with an LED, but it wasn't as simple as replacing the bulb, and most likely voided the lifetime warranty. The Halogens were too hot and too yellow for my tastes. If you turn the halogen light on for 5 minutes, you'll need oven mitts to take the globe off. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find an LED bulb with an E12 base that output anything close to the lumens required to be the main light source for a bedroom. The easiest of my solutions involved removing the halogen base, soldering the light wires to an led array, and attaching the led array to the light mount. I chose an LED array from Seoul Semiconductors, product number SMJD2V16W1P3-CA, because it doesn't require an external led driver as it's all built into the board of the led. The 70mm circumference ended up being a perfect fit. The lights run much cooler and are brighter than with the supplied halogen. Since the dimmer supplied with the light is meant for halogens, it's not ideal for the LEDs, and there's some noticeable flicker at low dimming levels. I am slightly concerned that the light mount plate may not provide an adequate heat sink for the led array, but I haven't had any issues yet.

No :( It's a very specific, small halogon. It's not a normal size socket so you could not put an LED.

I am sure not, unless you want to rewire the fan with a new socket. I rarely use the light, so I don't feel guilty.

Actually, I don't think you can replace the bulbs. LEDs are usually good for about 25,000 hours. That's about 20 years. What did you have in mind. I don't know about you but I'll be ready for a new technology magnifying glass way before that. Batteries will be your issue depending on how much you use it not the LEDs. You need a really small Phillips screwdriver to replace them and it takes three. The cover is real bitch to get off. You need a really small Flathead screwdriver to pry it off. Thank God the screw is held in place in the cover or you would probably loos it. A small screwdriver set & a couple of rounds of changing batteries and it's no big deal.

I've used it on incandecent and LED bulbs and it works fine. I don't see why it wouldn't work with a halogen bulb.

Yes, you can use an LED bulb as long as it fits within the parameters. The info lists: E26; Watt - 25W (60W Max). That means the LED must use less than 60W (which is very easy, the are almost always very low wattage), and it must have a standard base. It won't look at pretty, but will still be functional.

There are no bulbs to change out. The LEDs should last a very long time though.

Dear customer: Please don't worry, we all know LED bulbs can work much longer than halogen bulbs, and LED bulbs are energy saving. Mudder will provide satisfied service for you if you are not satisfied with the items you purchase, thanks.

yes, take the bulb out and take it to home depot....they will match the socket with a new led bulb. Joe

There isn't one bulb. The LED's are all on a disk, under a lens. I don't see how you could replace on. In the picture to the left, look closely at the blue ring. The light and dark flecks inside the ring are LEDs.

LED bulbs are supposed to last up to 30 years, and integral into the circuit board. To my knowledge they cannot be replaced. I installed 6 of these and they look great!

I don't think you can replace the flouresent bulbs with LED bulbs. I researched this before I bought the light and couldn't find an option to do this. Many of the outdoor flouresent bulbs are specific to the light fixture and don't have exact LED replacements.

I haven't looked into that yet, but intend to, as I was unable to find an LED bulb for the light, other than 25w. It is very cumbersome to change bulbs on the light!

These LEDS from eBay worked for me. The weird thing is that I could replace 10 bulbs with the LED but 2 had to stay halogen for it to work properly http://www.ebay.com/itm/381370807717?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var;=650557326596&ssPageName;=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

you should be able to. I leave identical bulbs outside and on 24 hrs per day everyday. They last summer and winter outdoors for years.

Well it uses LED bulbs, Two of them. I really don't know if you can replace them, there may be a way to get into the housing but I would not buy any right now. Even if you left the light on for 24 hours a day you would get at least 10 years out of them, and with most normal use of a LED bulb it is more like 30 years. So my suggestion would be to hold off.

There would be no bulbs to replace because the lighting mechanism uses an LED. I don't know if you can replace LED's.

Apparently, the halogen bulb cannot be replaced, which is why the manufacturer replaced the complete unit for us. However, the bulb has a very long life; we used our oven for many years, at least several times/day, before the bulb burned out. And, we're told that the bulbs in the newer ovens last even longer. Either way, we still think this is a critical piece of kitchen equipment. If we had to choose whether we had this or a regular oven, or even and oven and a microwave, we'd choose this. Good luck.

The bulb is a T4-E11 Base 75-Watt Halogen. We are not sure that there is an equivalent LED bulb with the same specifications.Thank you,Michael H.Dan's Fan City
