Are G4 and G9 the same?
The difference between the G4 and G9 bulb formats relate to the bulb having either straight or looped prongs; the format that you require will be defined by the light fitting that you have and can best be judged by a straight replacement and inspection of the old bulbs.
Will G4 fit in G9?
The compact, tapered design of Integral LED’s new G4 and G9 lamps allow them to fit easily into any existing G4 and G9 fittings, where earlier, bulkier LED lamps might have fit awkwardly or looked unsightly.
Are G4 LED bulbs any good?
They are brighter and produce a negligible amount of heat as compared to them. Moreover, the average life of a G4 LED capsule is 30000 hours, which is ten times more than the halogen bulb. They have no toxic chemicals like mercury or Barium, thus pose no threat to human health.
What does G9 LED mean?
What Are G9 LED Bulbs? G9 LED bulbs can be defined by their small shape and size, known as a ‘capsule’ bulb by those in the industry. G9 bulbs were commonly found in halogen styles but now low cost, energy efficient LED lamps can act as a direct replacement.
Why do my G9 bulbs flicker?
Cause: LEDs only provide light when an electrical voltage runs through them. If this voltage is not constant, flickering will happen. This only affects LED bulbs because others like halogens and incandescent maintain enough heat to cover brief gaps in voltage.
How bright are G4 bulbs?
Firstly, the true brightness of LED bulbs is measured in lumens. For instance, a 2.4w G4 LED spotlight which has 150 lumens produces a comparable brightness to 20w standard light. It just consumes a tenth of the energy. It’s also worth noting how beam angle effects brightness.
Can I replace G4 halogen bulbs with LED?
G4 Bulb Type LEDs are a simple replacement for your G4 Pin Type Halogen Globes. However, a better option for Down Lights and some other fittings using G4 halogen bulbs are using our Multi-Volt G4 LED Disc type replacements.
Why do G4 LED lights flicker?
3 (MR16) and G4 Bulbs usually works from 12 Volts. They need a transformer to convert the mains voltage 230V to 12V. The flickering you are experiencing is usually down to incompatibility or loading issues with the transformer.
