Replacing Halogen Bulbs on Security Light

[Sfrazi]

I have a Timeguard SLB400G 400W security pir light in the garden. The bulb recently blew and requires replacing.

Is it possible to replace this with a lower watt bulb i.e.120W? 400W gives too much light so was hoping it wouldn't need a direct 400W light replacement.

Thanks

providing you get one the same length, i cant see why not, the pir electronics usually work with any wattage lamp.

I've done this on a few over the years. As 333rocky333 says, just make sure the new one is the same length.

Do not touch the lamp with bare fingers, the grease from a clean dry finger will affect and weaken the quartz when the lamp is hot resulting in early failure of the lamp.
