Can the 10 watt G4 halogen bulbs be replaced with 20 watt G4's Safely? [not enough light in bedroom we installed it in]

Nope. I tried to do that, and we fried the whole thing, the innards melted. I highly recommend not doing this.

You can't swap out the bulb easily, but it could be done with a smaller bulb. The 100 W Halogen is brighter than a 100W incandescent, and even the 100W halogen isn't bright enough for our room.The main obstacle to swapping the bulb is that there is not enough room in the fixture / frosted glass dome to fit a "normal" light bulb. You would have to both swap out the bulb socket *and* find a bulb small enough to fit. I've been looking for an LED or CFL, but no luck yet...maybe in a few years.

I'm saying no,but contact the company to make sure. The bulbs that you receive are huge.

Yes. Can't remember the wattage because their installed in my rental unit, but I was happy with them. I replaced Halogen's with these and they don't put off the heat the Halogen's did and the cool color made the room much nicer and of course brighter. In my opinion. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure where to replace the shades, but the bulbs I can answer. The larger lamp uses a standard bulb-60 watt maximum. The smaller bulb is an appliance bulb. Initially hard to find, but I found them in my local supermarket! But it's an "appliance bulb".

Yes, you shouldn't worry about that :) But let me suggest you something: I highly recommend if you'll use this bulb for this fixture. For me, it's one of the best I've purchased because the light output, durability, and efficiency are impeccable. Also, the color of the light and the fixture blends well.

!!! NO !!! Nor can you use a Different Wattage Lamp! Ofcourse, I guess you could take all the "Ballast Stuff" out and then replace with just a "Regular Bulb"

Yes, they are amazing like that :) Just a suggestion, tho: I'd really recommend that you use an LED bulb for this lamp since it doesn't heat up. Also, using a 40W equivalent LED Globe bulb worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient.

not sure about that. Usually it is the max load you have to worry about. I have 5 halogen bulbs, each 25 watts. Works fine

I just replaced them in standard Malibu housings that had previously used T5 4 watt bulbs. These things are a great drop in replacement assuming you already have the 12 volt transformer timer....

Mimi, I have 40 wt. regular bulbs in mine. Do not know if we can use the new bulbs. I tend to stay with the older, unless told not to. Hope that helps. Joan

The dome housing is with fitted G9 HALOGEN Bulb therefore will only take G9 bulbs (which are mainly clear!) only Zilla offer infra red (rated at USA 115v -try 25Watt first as these lamps generate 'alot' of heat!) - always be careful using anything outside the manufactures recommendations!

Neither, the bulb is a 20w bi-pin G4 (t3). I have bought these metal spot lights and replaced the 20w halogen bulb with a 2w LED bulb (YHG 10packs Warm White. 2 Watt G4 Light Bulb .Led 3014smd) purchased from Amazon. They work great and give of equivalent light and you have $40.00 LED spot light for little more than $11.00.

Low voltage (12V), 10 watt G4 halogen bulbs came with these fixtures. These were immediately replaced with Tower Type G4 Lamp with 9 High-Power Warm White 5050SMD LEDs 12 V 1.8W 360° Omni-Directional lamps

What wattage and type of bulbs? Sounds like the fixtures are being overloaded.
