Description
A little capsule lamp that puts out a crisp, cool light from a body barely bigger than the pins it stands on. It draws 4W and gives 350 lumens, enough for the small fittings G9 lamps tend to live in, and the colour sits at a bright daylight 6000K rather than anything soft or yellow. The clear finish leaves the light source on show, so it sparkles behind glass shades and crystal droplets. It dims with a compatible dimmer, which is sold separately.
We reach for this one where a room needs to look awake: IP44 mirror lights in a bathroom, small glass pendants over a worktop, cloakroom wall lights and the multi-arm fittings that take capsules. The cool tone suits white tiles, chrome and pale stone, and it helps with close work where you want edges and colours read true, shaving or chopping among them. In a bedroom or sitting room you may want something warmer, so we would keep these for the working parts of the house and pair them with a dimmer you already trust.
Being so small, the clear body all but disappears inside a shade, which is what you want from a capsule. Handle it by the base rather than the body, and let it cool fully before you touch it. A dry cloth now and again is plenty; dust settles quickly on a lamp this size and shows up as a dulled, greyish light. There is no coating on it to mark or discolour. It carries a three year warranty. Where a fitting puts its lamps on show, we would run the same one in every holder so the light stays even across the piece.

Frequently Asked
How big is the lamp?
It measures 16mm across and 50mm tall, so it fits the compact housings and small shades that G9 holders usually sit in.
Will it dim on any dimmer?
It is dimmable, but it needs a dimmer suited to LED loads. No dimmer is supplied with the lamp.
How bright is it and what does the colour look like?
Output is 350 lumens at 6000K, a clean daylight white with no warm cast. If you want a cosier light, look to a warmer colour temperature instead.
How long is it rated to last?
Average rated life is 25,000 hours, which is why we are happy to use it in fittings that are awkward to reach.
Does it throw light in all directions?
It has a wide 320 degree spread, so it lights the whole of a glass or fabric shade rather than firing in one direction.
Can I use it in a bathroom light?
Yes, in a fitting rated for the position you are putting it in. The lamp itself is for indoor use.
