3w G9 LED Capsule Bulb
This 3w G9 LED bulb is available in Warm White (3000K). This is a popular colour temperature used within garden lighting to obtain a relaxing atmosphere. Insert this into any 240v G9 fitting and a warm, soft wash of light will be created. LEDs are the perfect replacement for traditional halogen bulbs. Save power with these LED bulbs due to the low power consumption. The added bonus is that LED bulbs have a lifespan of approx 20,000 hours+, therefore cut down the need to change bulbs all the time, and save money and the environment in the process.
Colour Temperature
The colour temperature of a lamp is a measurement in degrees Kelvin (K) to determine the “warmth” or “coldness” of the light that it produces. Lamps with a low colour temperature produce what is described as a “warm white” light – often described as “yellow” or even “orange in very low colour temperatures such as old fashioned street lights.
Lumens Output vs. Wattage Equivalents
Lumens Output is the measurement of how bright a lamp actually appears once illuminated. Often when replacing light bulbs, an equivalent wattage is requested. However the Lumen Output can vary between different brands of bulbs with exactly the same wattage. The higher the lumens output, the brighter the bulb. If replacing a 25W standard / halogen bulb with an equivalent LED, simply look for an LED lamp which has virtually the same lumen output for the closest match. Equivalents are often an estimate. Therefore comparing the lumen output is the best and more accurate way to replace bulbs with low energy equivalents.
