Hi. Can anybody help me identify this light-bulb, please?

As you can see from the picture it is just over 30mm long and is used in a 6 bulb "chandelier" light fitting, which is the main source of illumination in a room measuring 6m by 6m. Thanks

its

a bi pin (capsule) frosted lamp of uknown wattage or voltage

Looks like a G4 capsule.

More than likely 12v, 10 or 20w. You need to confirm the voltage and wattage though.

Looks like a capsule halogen lamp, is there a rating written on the side of it?

Looks like a Quartz glass Transversial to me.

ELV single ended halogen capsule, if so you'll need to know the voltage (6 or 12v) & wattage.

this one looks like yours, (non frosted) but i bet its not.

this one is 24 v

we need to know voltage and wattage.

have a look at the other lamps, see what they say

OK, thanks for all of the help so far.

On most of the bulbs any information seems to have been rubbed off (the ink appears to rub off very easily). However, I found one where some information is still visible (please see photo). It is hard to see on the photo, but I think it says 12V 20W on the bottom line.

Hope this helps. Thanks again.

I think it says 12V 20W on the bottom line.

Yes it does.

so you have now answered your own question

 

[ccorncob]

I am still not sure what model of bulb it is, though. I saw G4 bulbs on the Argos website (please see below), but the "prongs" seem thicker.

 

[breezer]

well don't go to argos then.

There are lots of places that sell lamps, argos would never be my first choice.

There are al lthe diy sheds, the on line places etc

 

[ccorncob]

What I mean is that I am not clear whether this is a G4. If the prongs on the Argos G4 are representative of all G4s, then I wondered whether the bulbs I am after are not G4s.

Do you think they definitely are G4s?

Thanks again.

Yes
