FAQs

What is the colour temperature of this bulb?

This Eveready Halogen G9 Capsule Bulb delivers a warm white light with a colour temperature of 2800K.

Can I use this bulb with any dimmer switch?

This bulb is compatible with dimmer switches designed for halogen bulbs. Always ensure your dimmer is rated appropriately for halogen technology if you intend to use dimming features.

How do I handle the bulb during installation?

It is crucial not to touch the glass surface of the bulb with bare hands. Use a clean, dry cloth or gloves to handle the bulb to prevent oils from your skin causing hot spots and premature failure.

What does '180 lumens' mean?

Lumens (lm) measure the total amount of visible light emitted by a source. 180 lumens indicates the brightness level of the bulb.

Is this bulb energy-efficient?

As a halogen bulb, it is less energy-efficient compared to LED alternatives. It consumes more power to produce light but offers excellent light quality and instant brightness.

What is the lifespan of this bulb?

While specific lifespan can vary with usage, halogen bulbs generally have a shorter lifespan than LED bulbs. Proper handling and stable power supply can help maximize its operational life.

How do I dispose of a used halogen bulb?

Halogen bulbs can typically be disposed of with regular household waste, but check local regulations as some areas may have specific recycling guidelines for lighting products.

Troubleshooting

Bulb does not light up

Ensure the power is on. Check that the bulb is fully and correctly inserted into the G9 socket. Verify the fixture is working correctly and try a different bulb if available.

Bulb flickers or dims unexpectedly

If using a dimmer, ensure it is compatible with halogen bulbs and set correctly. Check the bulb's connection to the socket; a loose connection can cause flickering. If the issue persists, the bulb may be nearing the end of its life or the fixture may have a fault.

Short bulb lifespan

Ensure you did not touch the glass during installation. Verify that the wattage of the bulb does not exceed the fixture's maximum rating. Check for stable power supply and avoid frequent on/off switching if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power supply to the fixture is switched OFF.
  2. Carefully remove the old bulb from the G9 socket.
  3. Gently insert the Eveready Halogen G9 Capsule Bulb's pins into the G9 socket until it is firmly seated.
  4. Switch the power supply back ON.

Compatibility:

  • This bulb uses a G9 push-fit base, compatible with fixtures designed for G9 halogen bulbs.
  • It is designed for use with compatible dimmer switches. Ensure your dimmer is rated for halogen bulbs if dimming functionality is required.

Care:
