This Halogen G9 adapter was a fantastic idea from British company Bell
Sadly they are no longer being made so once our stock has gone it is gone
To put it simply it is a base, which comes in all the regular sizes of Bayonet, Screw, Small Bayonet and Small Screw. You then put a G9 bulb (also known as a halopin) in the base (this comes with the base when you buy it)
This bulb can be 25 watts or 40 watts (the 25 watt is the equivalent of a 40watt old style bulb and the 40 watt one equals a 60 watt old style bulb – halogen bulbs are not fluorescent they are just more efficient)
Finally there is a choice of cover to screw onto the base.
There are 4 styles of covers to choose from:
A standard candle (35mm tall)
A 45mm golfball
A normal Bulb (the usual size!)
Spotlights in 50, 63 and 80mm diameter which are the common sizes
In order to keep things simple we have put the adaptor covers as a separate item. Unfortunately as these are also no longer made our stock is very limited.
When the halopin bulb fails (as sadly it will) all you have to do is unscrew the cover and replace the bulb! You can also replace the halogen bulb with an LED one and save energy!
They are dimmable too (do be careful though if you use an LED replacement bulb as it may not be dimmable)
You can also just use the base with bulb but no cover if you prefer
The Base comes with a bulb included
