What are G9 LED bulbs?

G9 LED bulbs are one of the most popular led bulbs types that are perfectly applicable in almost all lighting solutions today. Such lamps are characterized by certain parameters that distinguish them from others. It is common for bulbs to be divided into incandescent and LED (light-emitting diode) bulbs, as well as plug socket and screw socket bulbs. In this case, the G9 bulbs are light-emitting diodes and have a plug socket. The letter "G" and the number next to it indicate the distance between the rods and the plug, which is expressed in millimeters. So the LED light G9 shows that the distance between the plug and the two rods is 9 millimeters. Otherwise, if we were to evaluate the E27 bulb, we could understand from the given combination of letter and number that the bulb has a threaded base, but the number refers to the diameter of the base - so 27 mm.

Having familiarized ourselves with the essential parameters of the G9 bulb, we can further discuss the advantages and characteristics of this bulb in more detail, and at the same time find out what criteria should be used to find the most suitable G9 LED bulb for your home or office. In this text, we will also mention the advantage of LED bulbs compared to halogen bulbs, which can help you choose the optimal option.

What are the advantages of G9 LED bulbs?

Due to their characteristics, G9 LED bulbs are widely used for lighting various rooms - both in the interior of the house and in the exterior, when installed in outdoor lights. Smaller size G9 bulbs can be installed both for decorative furniture lighting and as a light source for the entire room. So what are the characteristics of G9 LED bulbs from the abundance of other types of bulbs?

• Wide light angle. The light angle of the bulbs is measured in degrees and is always indicated on the bulb package. G9 lamps are characterized by a large variation of light angles, so when choosing this type of lamps, you will not be limited by the light angle options. The correct angle of the light will be significant in assessing the size of the desired light area. For example, if you are choosing a lamp for a lamp located in the center of the room and you want a light flow that fills all corners, then choose lamps that offer the largest possible light angle - 300° or even 360°. Otherwise, to highlight an area with a smaller diameter, look for bulbs with as small a light angle as possible, for example G9 LED Spot Light, with a minimum beam angle of 100°. In this way, you will get an accentuated flow of light to your chosen object, and the light will be bright and concentrated to a smaller point, so the light rays will not scatter around.
• Various designs. G9 LED bulbs have a fairly wide range of designs - you can find both unusual and "honeycomb" bulb designs, as well as elongated shapes with details resembling incandescent bulbs. It is convenient that such a choice allows you to apply these bulbs both in small lamps and in luxurious and massive lamps - G9 bulbs will work even in classic and still fashionable chandeliers!
• An alternative to incandescent bulbs. Another advantage that will appeal to consumers who liked the old halogen bulbs - many G9 LED bulbs with a filament detail actually resemble incandescent bulbs. If you want to hang a classic chandelier in the center of the room, but you are not satisfied with the properties of ordinary halogen lamps, you can safely choose G9 lamps of the appropriate design.
• Size. Generally, G9 bulbs stand out for their small size, which is a big plus when aiming for aesthetically pleasing fixtures with inconspicuous or barely noticeable bulbs. Although small in size, G9 bulbs emit a significant amount of light than standard, larger bulbs.

How to choose the most suitable G9 LED bulb?

When choosing the most suitable G9 bulbs for you, we always advise you to consider your needs in detail and evaluate the possibilities of the room or space to be lit. With a clear vision, decisions become easier, more specific and there are fewer opportunities for mistakes. So we recommend considering the following essential details:

• Power and luminous flux. When choosing a light bulb, pay attention to its power and luminous flux - these are important features that indicate the brightness of the light emitted by the light bulb. Luminous flux is measured in lumens (lm), which actually today have a greater importance for light intensity, while the power (W) indicates the consumed electricity. Remember that higher lumens means brighter light, but super bright light isn't always an advantage. In rest areas such as the bedroom or living room, more minimal, so 300-450 lm/m², the light flux is completely sufficient and even recommended.
• Color of light. Light color is also known as light temperature. Make no mistake - the light temperature does not indicate the heating level of the bulb, but the shade of the light. Common shades can be: warm white, cool white and neutral white. Warmer and more yellowish shades will give a more calming effect to lounge areas, while cooler shades will promote alertness, productivity and give the impression of sterility.
• The angle of the light beam. As we have already mentioned, the chosen angle of the light beam will allow concentrated illumination of certain objects or distribute the light flow in wider directions. In the "Šviesos centras" online store, you will find G9 LED lamps with a light angle from 100° to 360°.
• Dimerization. If you are looking to find the best solution for a changing living or entertaining space, you can choose dimmable LED lamps, whose light intensity is regulated in an intelligent way - through the integrated system "Switch" or other external controls.

What are the advantages of LED bulbs over incandescent (halogen) bulbs?

As we have already mentioned, LED bulbs are the first choice today for a reason - LED technology offers many more advantages than incandescent bulbs could ever offer.

• Longer service life. LED bulbs are estimated to last up to 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs, making them a cheaper and more convenient option.
• Security. LED bulbs do not emit as much heat as halogen bulbs, so their use is safer, in addition, LED bulbs do not contain the chemical element harmful to health - mercury.
• Possibilities. The technology of LED bulbs provides impossible possibilities for incandescent bulbs - adjusting the light flow and changing the light colors (only LED bulbs marked PS can be dimmed).
