This bulb is found inside a fancy light fixture, I haven’t seen one before and it doesn’t have any markings on it. I need to order replacements.

It's a "G9" base Halogen bulb.

    It's a halogen, though I couldn't say which form factor off the top of my head. You'll want to find voltage and wattage markings for compatibility. Using bulbs with too high of a wattage rating can create a fire hazard.



    Look for LED alternatives for energy savings.

      i like LEDs are much as anyone, but i don't think they would save much energy replacing halogens. We use halogen mainly for reading lights (which LEDs aren't great at yet) and for decoration, which is usually lower wattage than primary illumination. If you have a ton of them it adds up, but for a few one-offs, the impact isn't dramatic.

      You might be surprised. The 50w equivalent uses 5w. As someone whose descendants will roam this planet for quite a few decades yet, I believe it's worth doing.
