G9 & G4 Capsule LED Light Bulbs

Q: What are G4 and G9 LED capsule bulbs?

A: G4 and G9 refer to the type of base or pin configuration of the bulb. G4 bulbs have a 4mm pin spacing, while G9 bulbs have a 9mm pin spacing. These LED capsule bulbs are compact, energy-efficient alternatives to traditional halogen bulbs. They're designed to fit into smaller fixtures, making them ideal for a variety of applications such as under-cabinet lighting, pendant lights, and decorative fixtures.

Q: Why should I switch to LED capsule bulbs?

A: Making the switch to LED capsule bulbs, like our LED Capsule Bulb G9 Snap Fix 4.8W or the G4 Snap Fix 1.5W, offers numerous benefits. Firstly, they consume significantly less energy, leading to reduced electricity bills. Secondly, with a longer lifespan, they require less frequent replacements, saving both time and money. Additionally, they emit less heat, enhancing safety, especially in enclosed fixtures.

Q: Can I use these LED bulbs as direct replacements for my halogen bulbs?

A: Absolutely! Our G4 and G9 LED capsule bulbs are designed to be direct replacements for their halogen counterparts. They offer the same brightness levels but with a fraction of the energy consumption. Ensure you check the voltage and base type before making a switch.

Q: Are these bulbs dimmable?

A: While many LED bulbs are now available in dimmable versions, it's essential to check the product specifications. Dimmable bulbs allow you to adjust the light intensity to create the desired ambiance in your space. If you're considering a dimmable option, ensure your dimmer switch is compatible with LED technology.

Q: How do I ensure the longevity of my LED capsule bulbs?

A: To maximize the lifespan of your G4 and G9 LED capsule bulbs, ensure they're installed in well-ventilated fixtures. Although LEDs emit less heat than halogens, proper ventilation helps in dispersing any generated heat, ensuring the bulb's longevity and consistent performance.
