Just blew the halogen globe in the 3in1 bathroom heat lamp/exhaust fan.
Want to replace with an LED globe.
Whats suggested to replace it with?
The Phillips 9w LED es I have doesn't fit.
The original halogen is a different shape.
(I prefer the cool blue over warm white.)

ES, Edison screw. I fitted the 9w Phillips globe, but it doesn't fit properly. (With the housing, not the base)
its usually an R80 bulb - I found the Phillips didn't fit mine, but some brand at bunnings did….Has some kind of Italian name Luce Bella?
R80, thanks.
At Bunnings there's two models of the Crompton brand (I prefer the cool blue over the warm white) any idea of the difference?
The LuceBella is only warm white.I cant see any difference between the normal R80 and the "Bathroom Buddy" version. Not sure what they are up to there.
I prefer a Warm White in the bathroom just to give the illusion of warmth on a freezing winter morning in the bathroom. But also, just to hide that clinical feel.
Note that if you use the heat lamps you may risk overheating the electronics inside the LED globe.
I'd be doing a quick test (turn heat lamps on for a few minutes, check if light socket area feels warm, without electrocuting or burning yourself of course)
I try not use the heat lamps at all.
They don't heat up the bathroom, just burn the bald spot on top.😏
Switching to LED for economy, which the heat lamps are not.
Thanks for the info about the electronics of the LED
Bit of trial and error might be needed. I've found that some led gloves vary a bit from the 'standard' shape. What sort of globe is it bayonet? Edison screw? MR16?
I out an Aldi led screw base globe in one of ours and it is a bit smaller than the reflector globe it replaced, but it works. It is a secondary light in that bathroom, so it's wasn't as important to be as bright, or fit exactly.
