Description
This is a small LED capsule on G9 pins, made for fittings where a compact lamp sits on show. The casing is clear rather than frosted, so the light carries a little sparkle through a shade instead of a flat wash. It draws 7W and puts out 540 lumens of warm white at 3000K, a soft, faintly golden tone that settles well against pale walls and painted woodwork. Light leaves it all the way round, so a shade fills evenly rather than being lit from one side.
We reach for a G9 capsule like this in wall lights, small pendants and multi-arm fittings, and in shades where a larger lamp would look out of proportion. It dims, which makes it worth having in a sitting room or bedroom where the level wants dropping in the evening, though it does need a dimmer suited to LED lamps, and no dimmer is supplied with it. If you are moving away from older halogen capsules, this keeps the familiar size and a similar warmth while asking a great deal less of the supply. We sell them singly, so you can buy the exact number a fitting takes and keep a spare by.
The lamp is a clear outer over a white body, with the usual pair of G9 pins, so it replaces like for like in anything already taking that base. Let it cool fully, then wipe the clear surface with a dry cloth; sprays and solvents are best kept away, since anything left on the surface will show plainly once the light is on. It carries a three year warranty. Because the casing is clear, the capsule is part of what you see, so we would choose it where a shade is open or only lightly frosted and there is no reason to hide the lamp away.

Frequently Asked
How big is this lamp?
It measures 16mm in diameter and 58mm in height, the usual compact G9 capsule size, so it will sit in most small shades and enclosed glass without crowding them.
Will it work on any dimmer?
No. It dims, but it needs a dimmer suited to LED lamps. Older resistive or halogen dimmers can give flicker or a limited range, and no dimmer is included.
How warm is the light?
3000K, a warm white. It is a softer, more relaxed tone than a cool 4000K lamp and pairs well with warm timber, brass and cream shades.
How long should it last?
It is rated at an average life of 25,000 hours, so in a light used a few hours each evening it should run for years before needing replacement.
Is the clear finish noticeable when lit?
Yes. A clear capsule reads brighter and more sparkling than a frosted one, which suits open or lightly frosted shades. Where the lamp is fully exposed at eye level, some people prefer a diffused finish.
How much light does it give?
540 lumens from 7W, which is comparable to a small halogen capsule of the same size.
