Built for decorative fixturesThis
G9 capsule LED belongs to the Vivid series of pin-base lamps and is engineered around a single idea: replace a halogen capsule without changing anything else. The compact body measures 0.77 in maximum overall diameter by 2.16 in maximum overall length, so it tucks neatly behind small glass shades, inside crystal arms and under cabinet valances where a bulkier lamp would never fit. Solid-state components and efficient thermal management keep the operating temperature low, which protects nearby shades, acrylic diffusers and crystal — a common failure point with the old 45 W halogen capsules that used to scorch everything around them.
Light quality you can live withWith
450 lumens from just
4 W and a
330° beam angle, this lamp behaves like an omnidirectional source rather than a spotlight. In a multi-lamp chandelier that means even brightness across every arm, no dark shade tops and no glare stripes on the ceiling. The
3000K warm white reads as a comfortable residential white, and
CRI ≥80 renders skin tones, wood grain and textiles naturally — important over a bathroom vanity or above a dining table where people actually look at each other.

Installation and dimmingCut power at the breaker and let the old lamp cool completely before you touch it. Handle the new bulb by its body, not by the pins, and push it straight and squarely into the socket without twisting or forcing. Because it is rated for
totally enclosed luminaires, you can use it in sealed glass globes and closed sconces, though leaving a little breathing room around the lamp always helps service life. The lamp is
dimmable, but as with any low-wattage LED, confirm that your existing wall dimmer is LED-compatible and respect its minimum load — several 4 W lamps on one circuit may be needed for smooth, flicker-free dimming. Its
damp location approval also allows covered porches, sheltered entryways and bathrooms where steam is part of daily life.
Applications, matching lamps and documentationThink dining room and foyer chandeliers, bathroom
vanity light bars, hallway and bedside sconces, display cases, bar backs, salon mirrors, boutique fitting rooms and small hotel corridors — anywhere a dozen little capsules used to burn hot and die early. For a warmer or cooler look in the same fixture family, see
Vivid G9 4W 450lm 2700K dimmable and
Vivid G9 4W 450lm 4000K dimmable (open fixtures only). For 12 V pin-base fittings, the
LED bulb G4 2.5W 3000K shares the same warm tone, and the
Vaso MR11 3W 200lm 3000K GU4 covers narrow-beam accent work. Full ratings, the ordering table and the dimensional drawing are in the technical PDF spec sheet in the Documentation tab.
