GE 42 W Halogen Capsule Bulb G9, 230 V, 12.8mm

GE Short G9 Self Shielded Halogen Capsule Lamps

G9 mains voltage capsules are very compact light sources. They use patented leading edge technology of filament support, which eliminates the disadvantages of the earlier bridge-type designs. In this lamp two opposite small parts of the quartz glass tube are pressed together during manufacturing, and the filament is held by this glass portion called “dunching”. There are no additional metal and glass parts inside the capsule, which provides extreme safe end-oflife behaviour. For this reason G9 lamps made with dunching are self-shielded.

Bulbs are made from a quartz material which blocks virtually all UV-B and UV-C radiation. This material is doped with cerium and titanium which provides an effective barrier to potentially harmful ultra-violet radiation while maintaining the other high quality properties of standard clear fused quartz.

Typical applications include:
General lighting for residential and commercial purposes, especially illumination of light sensitive objects in shop-windows, galleries, museums, etc.
Task lighting
