Tiny fixtures deserve better than a hot, fading halogen capsule. The 12V DC G4 MICRO 1W Dimmable LED Bulb by LED MONTREAL is a bi-pin LED capsule made for the most cramped sockets, here in its Type 2 version: the stronger of the two micro options, with a slightly longer board and more light than the entry model. You may know it as a G4 LED bulb, a micro G4, a bi-pin LED, a capsule bulb or a halogen G4 replacement. Whatever you call it, its job is simple: bring clean, efficient light to display cases, cabinet pucks, cabin lamps and the small decorative fixtures that only accept a micro capsule.

Everything about this capsule is low voltage and low load. It runs on 12V DC, draws just 1W, and its compact board sends light out in every direction, so a frosted shade or a glass cabinet glows evenly instead of showing one bright spot. It is dimmable with a dimmer suited to low-voltage DC, handy for softening a showcase in the evening. You choose the colour right on this page: warm white or cool white, the first for a cozy, golden residential feel, the second for a crisp, modern sparkle on jewellery, glass and chrome. One essential check before you order: this bulb is for direct current only. Running it from an AC transformer would damage the capsule as well as the fixture, so confirm the supply first.

In a home, think china cabinets, under-cabinet pucks, headboard reading lights and petite wall sconces. In business, think jewellery counters, bakery showcases, back-bar shelving and hotel millwork. It's also right at home in Canadian RVs, campers, boats and off-grid cottages running on 12 volt batteries or solar, where every watt counts. Pair it with your other indoor LED lighting on the same DC supply, count your sockets, and upgrade those little fixtures for good with SKU G4MICRO-W2.

Built for the tightest housings
The MICRO is the smallest G4 format in this family: a narrow LED board fitted with the usual pair of G4 pins. This Type 2 board is a little longer than the entry-level micro, which leaves room for more LEDs and a brighter result while keeping the same slim width. Before ordering, measure the depth behind the lens or shade of your fixture; if the cavity is truly cramped, the lower-wattage micro bulb with its shorter board may be the easier fit. Both share the same G4 base, so the swap is plug-and-play.

Light all around, in the colour you prefer
The micro board releases its light in every direction, which is exactly what a frosted globe, a glass showcase or a small lantern-style fixture needs: the glow wraps around the capsule and fills the space evenly. Colour is a simple choice on this page. Warm white flatters wood, fabric, brass and baked goods and keeps a living space relaxed; cool white makes glass, silverware, chrome and gemstones look crisp and bright, the way a gallery or a jewellery counter should. Use the same colour across a room or a cabinet so every fixture matches.

Wiring, dimming and installation
This capsule works on direct current only. Many older halogen fixtures run on a 12V AC transformer, so read the label on the transformer or driver before swapping bulbs: a DC output means you are ready, while an AC transformer should first be replaced by a 12V DC LED driver, since alternating current would ruin the LED board and damage the fixture. The swap itself takes a minute: switch off the power, let the old halogen cool, pull it straight out, then press the micro board's pins firmly into the socket while holding it by the edges. For dimming, use a dimmer or a dimmable driver designed for 12V DC loads, and make sure the total wattage of all the bulbs on a supply stays comfortably below its rated output.

Where it makes the difference
Picture a glass-front china cabinet, a bakery or jewellery showcase, under-cabinet pucks in a condo kitchen, a reading light above an RV bunk, the cabin of a sailboat, a cottage running on a battery bank, a dollhouse or an architectural model, and the accent fixtures of hotel rooms and restaurants. In each case the micro G4 brings modern LED light to a fixture you already like, without rewiring it. Order one per socket plus a spare, and keep the colour consistent from fixture to fixture.
