G4 LED Light Bulbs

Traditional G4 halogen light bulbs work by applying an electrical current to a wire filament that glows white hot to emit visible light. Unfortunatley this type of lighting is extremely inefficient as most of the input energy is lost in the form of heat. This heat can also present an additional hazard in the way of burns or fire risk. LED replacement G4 lamps not only use 80 - 90% less energy, resulting in significant power savings or reduction in loads on batteries in boats, caravans or RVs, but also generate very little heat. They are perfect for use as bulb replacements in display cabinets in shops where heat may spoil products. As a quick guide - a 1 watt LED will replace a 10 watt halogen and the 2 watt LEDs are a good alternative to 20 watt halogen G4s. In recreational vehicles, boats, caravans or any lighting application where you are using a 12V battery, the load reduction is significant. A 20 watt halogen bulb will draw 1.7 amps, while the 2.5 watt LED draws a current of 0.2 amps

LED strip lighting FAQ

12V or 24V LED strip: which should I choose?

24V strip runs longer distances with less voltage drop, so it suits most runs over about 3 m and larger installs. 12V suits short runs, vehicles, boats and battery systems. Always match the strip voltage to the power supply.

What do IP ratings mean for LED strip?

IP20 strip is for dry indoor areas only. IP65 is silicone coated and splash resistant for kitchens, bathrooms and sheltered outdoor areas. IP67 and IP68 are fully sealed for outdoor or submersible use.

Which colour temperature should I pick?

2700K to 3000K is warm white for living areas and hospitality, 4000K is natural white for kitchens, retail and workspaces, and 6000K to 6500K is cool white for task and display lighting. CCT strips let you adjust between warm and cool.

Can LED strip be cut to length?

Yes. Only cut on the marked cut lines printed on the strip, then reconnect with solder or a compatible connector. Waterproof strip needs resealing at the cut with an end cap and silicone.
