These LED bulbs keep their promise. I have long had with G9 socket until I found looking for bright LED bulbs these LEDs. Important were a high number of lumens for me. For G9 versions this is paired in small construction with brightness hard to find. Convinced me further also the product photo on which it is apparent that you can see just only bright light and no LED rows. So I ordered the Pears. The delivery time could have been a little shorter, but the result after installation has compensated me for the wait. The bulbs are installed under a white glass ball and you can see after turning no difference to the previously installed halogen bulbs. The luminosity is visually a 40 watt light bulb close but is not the same. For me completely OK. The light color is hardly deviating from a halogen bulb. If you do not know that because LED's are installed, you will see no difference. Can this LED light bulb, according to the present state, only recommend. For durability, I can not make any statements.
