Can you replace G9 halogen bulbs with LED bulbs? So here is the simple answer. Yes, the G9 LED is a direct replacement for the G9 halogen bulb. You don’t need a transformer or LED driver (see section 6).
Why do my G9 LED bulbs keep blowing?
This is because the circuit is not completed as tightly as it could be and the electricity may have cause to “arc” or jump across the contact, rather than simply flowing through it. When this happens it produces more heat in the fitting than is expected or catered for by the bulb, and the bulb can blow.

Choosing G9 LED bulbs from branded manufacturers such as Osram or our house brand will rule out any chance of flicker.
Why do my G9 bulbs flicker?
Cause: LEDs only provide light when an electrical voltage runs through them. If this voltage is not constant, flickering will happen. This only affects LED bulbs because others like halogens and incandescent maintain enough heat to cover brief gaps in voltage.
What do you use G9 bulbs for?
G9 LED spotlights are frequently used in small areas, such as desk lamps, under cabinet light and over shelving. They differ, aesthetically, from the standard screw, bayonet and GU10 fittings you’ll be used to, instead sporting two looped prongs protruding from the base.
How do I know bulb size?
Bulb sizing is very straightforward and simple, it is based on the diameter of the bulb at its widest point, measured in eighths of an inch (⅛”). For example, the designation “T12” indicates a tubular bulb that is 12 eighths of an inch (12/8”) in diameter (or 1 ½”).
What is a JCD type bulb?
