If you need general lighting, we recommend switching to LED: see our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/osram-ledvance-led-bulbs-724\"\u003eOsram-Ledvance LED bulbs\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose the right bulb\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBase\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the base of the old bulb: E14 (small screw), G9 (curved pins) or G4 (thin straight pins).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVoltage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe G9 runs directly on 230 V; the G4 is low-voltage and needs a 12 V transformer.
