What does G9 mean on a bulb?

G9 bulbs are a compact style that feature two loop pins that push into the fixture. These are spaced 9mm apart, represented by the 9 in the name, and allows a simple installation. G9 light bulbs are commonly used in decorative lighting fixtures as they are small, bright and don’t distract focus from the feature.

Can I replace G9 halogen with G9 LED?

Can you replace G9 halogen bulbs with LED bulbs? So here is the simple answer. Yes, the G9 LED is a direct replacement for the G9 halogen bulb. You don’t need a transformer or LED driver (see section 6).

Why do G9 LED bulbs keep blowing?

This is because the circuit is not completed as tightly as it could be and the electricity may have cause to “arc” or jump across the contact, rather than simply flowing through it. When this happens it produces more heat in the fitting than is expected or catered for by the bulb, and the bulb can blow.

Is G9 bulb good?

Absolutely! With an average lifespan of 15,000 hours, a G9 LED bulb lasts up to 7 times longer, than G9 halogen lighting. With a very low power (amount of Watt), a G9 LED bulb achieves the best light performance.

Are there different types of G9 bulbs?

There are two types of capsule bulbs: G9 bulbs and G4 bulbs. The biggest difference between the two capsules are their voltages.

What happens when LED lights burn out?

Over time LED lights will begin to shine less brightly. They will do this because, over time, the components with the bulb will age and start to function less efficiently. As the internals start to wear down, the bulb will produce less light.

What is the life expectancy of LED lights?

One of the biggest advantages of LED light fixtures, is their extended lifespan. While incandescent light bulbs were built to last around 1,000 hours, the most enduring LED light fixtures have been tested to last as long as 100,000 hours. On average LED light bulbs will not have to be changed for at least 20 years.

Can LED lights be repaired?

YES. Unlike traditional incandescent bulbs, modern LED bulbs allow for almost everything to be repaired. What you need to do is to find out the problem and take reasonable action to repair, or replace some damaged parts of the LED bulb, your lamp can work properly again.

Do LED lights run up the electric bill?

Yes! LED lights consume 80-90% less energy than incandescent bulbs, and last up to 100,000 hours, versus 3,000 hours for an incandescent. Combine this with the durable construction of LEDs, and savings extend beyond electricity.

Why did my LED lights suddenly stop working?

This problem has two possible causes. Either (A) You you have a 24V power supply connected to 12V LED strips. Or (B) there is a ‘short’ along the strip – in other words the solder has gone across the PCB somewhere and the +ve and -ve are touching, shorting the circuit.

What is the most powerful G9 bulb?

74X SMD2835 LED as lighting source, work at voltage AC110-120V, 360° omnidirectional beam angle. The brightest G9 LED light bulb in the market, much brighter than 60W halogen bulb, and the power consumption is only 11W.

Are G9 halogen bulbs banned?

Halogen light bulbs will be banned from September 2021 with fluorescent light bulbs to follow, cutting emissions and saving consumers on their energy bills.

What causes LED to burn out?

The most common reasons for LED blowing out are high voltage, bad contacts, use of incompatible dimmer switch, or recessed lighting. Other causes include overheating due to not using the right fixtures, or simply a bad batch of lightbulbs!
