Description
A compact capsule lamp on a G9 pin base, drawing 4W and giving a clean, cool white light at 4000K. The clear capsule leaves the LED visible, which is what you want in an open lampholder where the lamp is part of the look rather than hidden behind a shade. Output is 350 lumens, in keeping with the small fittings G9 lamps tend to live in, and it dims smoothly on a suitable dimmer, though no dimmer comes with it.
We reach for it in wall lights, small pendants and multi-arm ceiling fittings, and anywhere the housing is too shallow to take anything bigger. The cooler end of white works well in kitchens, utility rooms, home offices and workshops, where you want the light to read as daylight rather than candlelight, and it holds that character as you dim it down for the evening. It is a sensible swap if you are moving away from halogen capsules and want the same small format on a fraction of the power.
It is a light little thing, slight enough to sit in delicate arms and small glass shades without pulling them out of line. Keep the capsule clear and it keeps looking right: switch off at the wall, let it go cold, then wipe with a dry lint-free cloth, holding it by the base rather than the capsule so no marks are left on the clear surface. Solvents and damp cloths are best kept away. It carries a three year warranty. If you are lighting several G9 fittings in one room, buy them together so every lamp starts at the same colour and brightness.

Frequently Asked
How big is this lamp?
It measures 16mm in diameter and 50mm in height, so it suits the shallow housings and small shades that G9 fittings usually have.
Will it work with my dimmer?
It is dimmable, but it needs a dimmer suited to low-wattage LED loads. No dimmer is supplied with the lamp.
How bright is 4W in practice?
It gives 350 lumens with a wide 320 degree spread, which is a comfortable level for wall lights and multi-lamp fittings where several capsules work together.
What does 4000K look like?
4000K is a cool, neutral white, crisper than a warm yellow tone and closer to daylight, which is why it reads well in kitchens and work areas.
How long should it last?
Average life is rated at 25,000 hours, and colour rendering is above 80 CRI.
Can I handle the capsule with bare hands?
Handle it by the base where you can. Fingerprints on a clear capsule show up once the lamp is lit, so wipe any marks off with a dry cloth while it is cold.
