G9 LED – 6W

A 6W clear G9 LED rated 650 lumens, the brightest G9 lamp Votatec builds and 100 lumens more than the milky version of the same bulb.

Six watts, 600 to 650 lumens, 110 lumens per watt, and one SKU that switches across 3000K, 4000K, 5000K and 6000K at CRI above 80, with a full 360 degree beam.

Ceramic base, PC cover, dimmable, ETL listed, two year warranty.

How bright is a 6W G9 LED bulb?

This one is 650 lumens, and it holds 650 at every one of its four colour temperatures. That's 110 lumens per watt, the highest efficacy in Votatec's G9 range. Match a replacement on lumens, not watts. The old lamp's wattage tells you what it cost to run, not what it gave you, so read its lumen figure and compare against 650. Our G9 buying guide has the method.

Clear or milky? Look at the shade first

A clear lamp shows its diodes. Behind a frosted shade, etched glass or an opal globe that already scatters the light, that's invisible and you keep the full 650 lumens. In a bare socket or an open clear shade where the lamp is on show, order the milky version instead and accept 550 lumens for even light. Same 6W, same 18 by 58mm body, same four colour temperatures, same dimming. The diffuser costs about 15% of the output.

Does your fixture's maximum wattage rule this out?

Almost never. That rating is a heat and current ceiling set for the halogen the fitting shipped with, and 6W sits far under it. Two real limits apply instead. This lamp isn't rated for enclosed fixtures, so sealed globes and tight closed shades are out, because trapped heat cooks the driver and shortens the rated 25,000 hours. And check the compartment: at 18mm across and 58mm long it's 3mm longer than the 3.5W and 4.5W G9s, so a shallow fitting that closed on those might not close on this.

One SKU, four colour temperatures, and dimming

You pick 3000K, 4000K, 5000K or 6000K at order time rather than stocking four codes, and CRI stays above 80 across all four. The lamp dims. Power factor is above 0.9 and the sheet lists 0.5kV surge protection as standard. Low-end flicker on a G9 is nearly always a dimmer mismatch, not a bad lamp.
