With LED technology from a leading manufacturer, you get light similar to a traditional halogen at a fraction of the energy use and with far less heat. At GreenIce we bring this range together with R7S alternatives from other brands, so you can always find the length you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is an R7S bulb?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eR7S is a double-contact base, with one contact at each end of a linear lamp.
