A family of miniature capsule-shaped lamps used where high light output is needed in very little space.
Capsule lamps have compact clear or translucent envelopes and are identified primarily by their pin or loop-contact base, such as G4, G9, GY6.35 or G8.
Decorative pendants, cabinet lights, wall fixtures, display cases, marine fittings and compact task lights.
Capsule lamps are made in halogen, xenon and LED forms. They may use low voltage or mains voltage and straight pins, loop pins or different pin diameters.
Technologies represented in this library: LED, Halogen, Xenon.
Available base types: G4, G9, GY6.35, G8.
| Technology | Common wattage range | Typical lumen range | Common colour temperatures | Common voltage options |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LED | 1.5–8 W | 100–800 lm | 2200K, 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, 5000K | 12V AC/DC; 120V; 220–240V |
| HALOGEN | 5–100 W | 50–1800 lm | Approximately 2800K–3200K | 6V; 12V; 24V; 120V; 220–240V |
| XENON | 5–50 W | 40–800 lm | Approximately 2700K–3000K | 12V; 24V; 120V |
These are representative market ranges, not guaranteed limits. Availability varies by manufacturer, voltage, base, beam, region and product generation.
Match the base visually and by pin spacing, then confirm voltage, wattage, AC/DC operation, transformer compatibility and enclosure clearance.
G4 and G9 are not interchangeable. LED replacements may also be wider or longer than the halogen capsule they replace.
Important: The library describes a lamp format, not a particular product. A shared shape does not guarantee matching voltage, base, dimensions, light distribution or control-gear requirements. Confirm the fixture label and product datasheet, or ask a Bulb World lighting specialist.
