A 20 watt halogen bulb is usually about 300 lumen. Yet at 2.5 watts and being 12 volt, it will NOT be as bright as what you use to have with your 20 watt halogen. It implies it is the substitute for a 20 watt halogen. On the front of the package it clearly says G4. This is the packaging of the bulb I bought. I did buy one, so I could write this blog post and offer more helpful info. A nicely sized LED bulb to take the place of the glass halogen bulb. But back to the sparkling little G4 LED bulb that jumped off the shelf and right into my hand. This is true of Tresco, Mepla, and other companies that made under cabinet lighting, and used G4 bulbs. You must get a G4 bi-pin bulb to fit in the Hera halogen lights.
So when you go bulb hunting and see G6 and G8, those will NOT fit in the G4 sockets that Hera used. Thus the two little pins that push into the socket. What G4 represents is that the bulb is bi-pin.
It is important to us to continue to help our customers, so we wanted to see what Home Depot had. We have been slowly selling off the overstock over these last many years and just recently sold the last of our G4 halogen bulbs in 10 watt and 20 watt. All lights and parts for the lights, including bulbs, were no longer made and offered from Hera. Hera discontinued everything halogen in August, 2015. We went to Home Depot to see if G4 halogen bulbs were even still available. As technology continued to expand, so did solutions. So we feel, the LED pin was a failed experiment.
