Built for tight, hot little fixturesThe VIVID Series G9 is a miniature
LED capsule lamp designed to drop straight into the bi-pin sockets that halogen capsules left behind. With a maximum overall diameter of
0.63 inch and a maximum overall length of
1.91 inch, it disappears inside crystal arms, small glass globes and slim vanity bars instead of poking past the shade. The clear finish keeps the sparkle and the crisp shadow lines that decorative fixtures are designed around, and because it is an LED, the socket and the surrounding fixture stay far cooler than they ever did with a
25W halogen pin.
Light quality and dimmingYou get
250 initial lumens from only
3W, in a warm and relaxing
3000K white that flatters wood, brass, warm paint and skin tones. The
360° beam angle means light leaves the capsule in every direction, so multi-arm chandeliers and frosted globes fill evenly without dark patches. A
CRI of 80 or more keeps colours honest at the bathroom mirror or over a dining table. The lamp is
dimmable on
120V, so the same fixture can go from bright grooming light to low evening ambience; as with any small-wattage LED, pair a few lamps on the same circuit with a compatible LED dimmer and set the low-end trim for the smoothest fade.

Installation, ratings and where it belongsInstallation is as simple as it gets: cut the power, let the old capsule cool, pull the pins straight out and push the new lamp in — no driver, no transformer, no rewiring, since this model runs on
120V line voltage. Handling an LED capsule by the body is fine, and the pins seat with light, even pressure. Because it is
enclosed fixture rated, it is one of the few small lamps you can safely use inside sealed glass shades, closed ceiling globes and tight decorative housings where heat builds up.
Damp location approved status also makes it suitable for covered bathroom fixtures and sheltered spots, and the
-20°C to +40°C operating range covers unheated entries and three-season rooms across Canada.
Real projects, companion lamps and documentsThink condo bathroom vanities where four to six capsules sit behind frosted glass, a dining room crystal chandelier that used to cook itself with halogens, stairwell sconces in a duplex, boutique display sconces, salon mirror lights or restaurant wall fixtures that burn twelve hours a day — that's where
25,000 hours of life pays off in ladders you never climb. If your fixture is fully open and you want more output, the
Vivid G9 4W 450lm 4000K dimmable for open fixtures or the
LED bulb G9 4W 3000K cover it, while
12V bi-pin fixtures take the
LED bulb G4 2.5W 4000K and 12V GU4 recessed accents take the
Vaso MR11 3W 200lm 3000K GU4. The full
