Unkown bulb - floor lamp

[Samm801]

Hey guys, I seem to have come to the right place! I just got a tall floor lamp second hand. It has a main light and an adjustable second. They're both dimmable. The second light works, which is just a 50w capsule bulb. The main light, however, seems more complicated. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks! Sam

I believe you need one of these, double check the length is correct.

Looks like a Halogen lamp, if the length is 78mm it's 150w.
If longer see above post

The label says max 300w.

As it needs to be dimmable then you would be better with a halogen as originally fitted instead of an energy saving lamp.

It is halogen the energy saving aspect is that it is 230w as opposed to 300w.

Not far from the truth.

Power consumption at maximum brightness would be approximately 75% greater than the sum total of every lamp in my house.
