Description
This is a pack of two clear halogen oven bulbs with a G9 cap, recognisable by its two looped pins. Each capsule is made of clear glass and measures 4.1cm long and 1.3cm in diameter, a compact size for the small holders that G9 bulbs need. Each bulb draws 40W and gives 460lm of warm white light at 2700K, the cosy, slightly golden tone of traditional halogen. The IP rating is IP20, which means indoors and dry, so these bulbs belong inside an oven or an indoor lamp and never anywhere damp or outdoors.
The main job for these bulbs is the light inside an oven, where a dead bulb leaves you peering through the door to check on dinner. Swapping in a fresh one brings back a clear view of the shelves without replacing anything more than the bulb. Because the cap is a standard G9, the same bulb also suits a small pendant or a lamp that takes G9 bulbs, and the clear glass shows off the fine coiled filament whenever the light is lit. They suit anyone who keeps a drawer of spares or a cook who simply wants to see the bake rising again.
Each bulb is a clear glass capsule with the filament sealed inside and two wire pins at the base, and the packed weight is 0.012KG, so a spare tucks away easily. These bulbs are not dimmable, so they belong on an ordinary switch rather than a dimmer, and they run on a 220-240V, 50/60Hz supply. With two in the pack, we think the sensible plan is to replace the failed bulb and keep the second in the drawer for next time.
