I need to replace a light bulb in the cooker hood. It's marked Sylvania Belgium 12V 10W R12 or R1/2 and is a two pinpush in

My Google searches return bulbs which look similar but are coded G4. Are they the same item or any advice appreciated on what I need please. Happy to have led or halogen

TIA

A search for the cooker hood's specs might find you a manual which should tell you exactly what you need. Failing that, a visit to Halfords or similar with the dead bulb as a pattern might find what you need.
 
A picture of the expired bulb would help.
The 12V 2 pin sounds like a 12 volt halogen which will have a separate transformer.
We used to have them in downlights - small cone shaped "lamp" (aka bulb)
Sometimes the bulb was OK and the transformer had failed. Easy enough to replace too.
 
B&Q. That’s where I got the last bulbs I needed.
 
I replaced the bulb in our old cooker hood, got the bulb from Asda. They did have a reasonable selection, last time I was there, a year or two ago.

I thought they were standard. We've always just replaced them with whatever was available on Amazon.

That's the case with ours, it's the twist in type, the fat one :D Any bulb of that type that fits works just fine. I know there can be oddball light fittings though, in our kitchen there's a 3-bulb light fitting that takes G9 Halogen bulbs with 2 hook type pins, luckily for me Dealz have them in stock usually, Tesco have them too but they're 3x the price.

Suggest to the OP to check local pound shops, Dealz here have a couple other types including 2 pin, might be lucky
