Built to disappear into the fixtureThe whole point of a
G9 capsule is that nobody sees it. With a maximum overall diameter of
0.77 inch and a maximum overall length of
2.16 inch, this
pin-base LED lamp keeps the same compact footprint as the halogen capsule it replaces, so it tucks behind shades, glass cups and crystal arms without changing how the fixture looks or how the glass sits. Internal thermal management protects the diodes and helps the lamp hold its output over its service life — important in decorative fixtures where several lamps share a small, warm enclosure. It is rated for use in
totally enclosed luminaires, which is exactly where most chandelier and vanity capsules live.
Light quality you can live withAt
4000K you get a neutral white that feels bright and clean without going blue — the go-to colour temperature for bathrooms, kitchens, task areas and retail displays. The
CRI 80 rating keeps colours honest, so makeup looks right at the vanity and merchandise looks right on the shelf. The
330° beam angle matters more than people expect: a narrow LED in a decorative fixture creates hot spots and shadowed glass, while this near-omnidirectional spread fills a diffuser evenly and mimics the glow of the halogen capsule you are replacing.

Installation and dimmingInstallation is simple, but do it cold: cut the power at the switch or breaker and let the old halogen capsule cool completely before you pull it — halogen pins stay hot far longer than you think. Handle the new lamp by its base, line up the two pins with the socket and push straight in without twisting. Because this lamp is
dimmable on
120V, it works with your existing dimmer, but low-wattage LED loads behave differently than a chandelier full of 45W halogen capsules: test one lamp on the dimmer first, and where possible load all sockets in the fixture with the same model so the whole fixture dims evenly and reaches the same low end. If flicker or drop-out appears at the bottom of the dimming range, a dimmer rated for low-wattage LED loads is the fix.
Applications, matching lamps and documentationThink dining room chandeliers, foyer and stairwell fixtures, bathroom vanity bars, bedside pendants, display cabinets and picture lights at home; restaurants, cafés, boutiques, salons, spas and boutique hotel corridors on the commercial side, where fixtures burn long hours and ladder time costs real money. Keep the look consistent across a project by mixing in the same body in other colour temperatures: the
LED bulb G9 4W 3000K for warmer living spaces and the
Vivid G9 4W 450lm 2700K dimmable for a cozy halogen-like glow. For 12V fixtures, the
LED bulb G4 2.5W 4000K and the
Vaso MR11 3W 200lm 3000K GU4 glass housing cover bi-pin and GU4 sockets. The full technical PDF spec sheet for this lamp is in the Documentation tab — download it for the complete ordering and performance table before you spec a job.
