Description
This G4 LED bulb is a small bi-pin capsule lamp that runs on 12V DC, drawing just 1.5W while putting out 100 lumens. In US terms it is a bi-pin capsule on the familiar two-pin base, a compact light source measuring only Ø10 by 35mm. It gives a warm white 3000K tone with a wide 300 degree spread, and replaces an 11W halogen capsule at a fraction of the power. Colour rendering is Ra 80, so colours read naturally.
Because it throws light over a wide 300 degree arc, this capsule suits desk lamps, accent fittings, display cabinets and the low-voltage spotlights and pendant fittings that take a G4 base. The warm 3000K tone keeps the light soft rather than clinical, which works well for evening and decorative use. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor use only, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any outdoor or damp location. The light is even and diffuse rather than tightly directional, making it a tidy swap for older halogen capsules.
The bulb uses a JC capsule format on a G4 two-pin cap and weighs only 3g, so it sits neatly in compact fittings. It is rated for 20,000 hours and is non-dimmable, running direct from a 12V DC supply. Note that this is a low-voltage bulb, so it needs a 12V transformer or driver feeding the fitting rather than a mains connection. The finish is a clean white capsule body.

Frequently Asked
What fitting does this bulb need?
It has a G4 bi-pin cap, the small two-pin base used in many low-voltage fittings. It runs on 12V DC, so it must be used with a fitting fed by a 12V transformer or driver rather than direct mains.
What old bulb wattage does it replace?
It draws just 1.5W yet replaces an 11W halogen capsule, giving the same level of light for far less power. The bulb itself only ever uses 1.5W.
Is this bulb dimmable?
No, this is a non-dimmable bulb. It is designed for standard on and off switching and should not be used on a dimmer circuit.
How long does it last and what colour is the light?
It is rated for around 20,000 hours of use. The light is a warm white 3000K tone with Ra 80 colour rendering, giving a soft, comfortable look indoors.
