Has anyone any recommendations for a dimmable G9 LED to replace some 40watt
halogens in lounge ceiling light.

I thought the general recommendation was avoid G9 LEDs because the
fittings are generally too small to allow decent cooling, so the lamps
die young?

Yes, LED G9 light output goes up to about 20W equivalent.
They probably won't draw enough current for an existing
dimmer to work, but you can get dimmers suitable for LEDs.

Yes, change the light fitting to get away from G9s. I replaced my 42W G9
halogens with supposedly bright G9 LEDS, and even new they were much
dimmer. Don't believe the lumen figures!

Die young stay pretty.
I'm not always convinced this should be the case, but I suppose it depends
where the dissipation is.

Not an answer to the question, but I bought a pack of four g9
halogens from b n q recently and they were cr@p.

The wire contacts were an incomplete loop and didn't make secure
contact in the housing. I think these were the Diall brand which
most of their offerings seem to be.

Not impressed.
