A New Advancement In Lighting Bulbs- G9 Bulbs!


Earlier if you wanted to opt for a contemporary lighting scheme with the help of halogen lights, your options were limited. This was when G9 bulbs were not yet discovered. Not very long back most of the halogen fittings used halogen capsules, which had to be operated using a transformer. Chandeliers and wall lights often incorporate heavy and bulky toroidal transformers within their designs. These earlier halogen lights were not dimmable and the necessity of the transformers limited the aesthetic freedom of design of the fittings. They also had a huge impact on the costs which made them too expensive for the common man. This problem was eliminated with the advent of the G9 bulb.

G9 bulbs created a revolution in the way halogen lights could be used. These bulbs are fully dimmable and operate on mains voltage. The advent of these bulbs opened up a complete new market in the lighting industry. They are smaller in appearance, but they have huge potential for both the consumer, as well as the designer. They have a unique base which eliminates the necessity of the bulky transformer. This makes wall lights and chandeliers sleek and contemporary in design. At the same time, with the help of the G9 bulb, these designs can be manufactured at a much lower cost.
