Here's a good question from Alice:
I have a Tizio lamp (with halogen bulb) and I was thinking to make it greener, adapting it for LED bulb fixture.
Do you think it is possible? Halogen bulbs sound so old fashioned these days...
This one is beyond our technical capabilities. Does anyone know how Alice might do this?

Alice - This lamp isn't wired past the base... (the two parallel arms are used to conduct electricity to the bulb), and the halogen bulb is low voltage, which was a new use of this bulb when the Tizio was designed - it was the new cool use of technology.
It's the "lack of wires" that is important here. You'll just have to wait until the lighting industry starts making an LED 12v bi-pin lamp - then you can just replace the bulb. Hopefully by then they will have also solved the light output issues.
Maybe some LED - replacement for Halogen car lighting does fit into that lamp?
