Default Where to buy G9 LEDs, i.e. reasonable price and quality?

My MIL has bought some light fittings which need a total of 7 G9 LED

CPC are better but still quite pricey.

Are there any places to get reasonably priced reasonable quality G9
LEDs?


It doesn't matter, really. G9s were originally halogen bulbs. If you use
a G9 led in a fitting designed for a halogen lamp it will have a short
life as it will overheat, as most of those fittings have nowhere for the
heat produced to escape (even the small amount produces by a 4W led).

The light fittings actually specify G9 LED lamps so maybe/hopefully
will get them to run cool enough.
