Description
A little capsule for G9 fittings, sized to disappear inside a shade or behind a diffuser. The clear body reads crisp when it is on show, and the light itself is warm, a 3000K tone that sits close to the glow people expect from a filament lamp. It draws 1.5W and returns 220 lumens, which is the sort of output a decorative fitting wants when several lamps share the load. Light leaves it in all directions rather than in a beam, so shades and glass fill evenly. It is not dimmable, so pair it with a plain switch.
We reach for this one in multi-lamp wall lights and small chandeliers, where the lamps are half the look and a bigger bulb would crowd the arm. It suits bedside pendants and table lamps too, and it is a sensible swap for an old halogen capsule that has been running hot and costing more than it needs to. The warm tone flatters plaster, timber and brass, which makes it a safe choice for sitting rooms, hallways and bedrooms. We stock it singly, so you can buy the exact number a fitting takes.
The pins are the standard G9 pair, so it goes where a halogen capsule came out. Handle it by the body rather than the pins, and if you are changing one that has been lit, turn the fitting off and let it cool before touching it. Dust it while it is cold, with nothing wet and nothing abrasive; clear bodies show fingerprints more than frosted ones. It carries a three year warranty. Where the lamps are on show, keep them all the same tone across the fitting so the light does not go patchy.

Frequently Asked
How big is it?
The body measures 13mm across and 50mm tall, so it fits the small glass shades and narrow candle tubes that G9 fittings usually come with.
Can I put it on a dimmer?
No. This one is non-dimmable, so it should be run from a standard on/off switch. On a dimmer circuit it may flicker, buzz or fail early.
How warm is the light?
It is 3000K warm white, a soft yellow-toned light rather than a crisp white. It sits comfortably alongside other warm white lamps in the same room.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 25,000 hours, which for a hallway or sitting room fitting used a few hours a night is many years of service.
Will the clear body show the LED inside?
Yes, the clear finish means the internals are visible, which is normal for a capsule of this kind. Behind frosted glass or a fabric shade it disappears entirely.
Is one bulb enough for a whole fitting?
At 220 lumens each, these are made for fittings that use several lamps together. A single capsule works well in a small bedside light rather than as the only light in a room.
