Points To Remember

When deciding on whether to replace your current bulbs with another type of bulb the things to look for are the following:

• Is the Glass the same size?

If the answer is yes to all of the above questions then you should be ok to switch the old bulb with your new chosen replacement.

To be 100% safe though, it is best to unscrew one of your old bulbs and show it to your bulb retailer just to be certain that it is defintely a good, allround match.

As usual though please ensure that the bulb has cooled down thoroughly before unscrewing it, as with any light bulb.
