40W Halogen Bulb

When purchasing a bathroom light fixture, you should consider inquiring about the replacement bulb. Look at the bulb type, base and wattage. If it is not available from your local home improvement store, consider a different light fixture. My light fixture required a 40-watt mini candelabra bulb. When I went to Home Depot, I could not find a 40-watt halogen bulb. Instead, I was able to find a 40-watt equivalent dimmable LED bulb. When I installed the bulb, it flickered. This is not the first time I’ve seen this happen. My dining room chandelier lights also flickered when I switched from fluorescent to LED lights. Obviously, I quickly returned that pack and went back to fluorescent lights. Eventually, I was able to find the correct replacement lights at a lighting specialty store. The lesson is that 50-watt halogen lights is a common product, but 40-watt halogen bulbs are not.
