The cap is the part of the lamp that is inserted into the cartridge. Accordingly, depending on the type of cap, the possible zone of lamp usage will also differ. One of the most common versions of the lamp cap is G4. With this type of socle low-voltage lamps are used, used in spotlights to get lighting. Selecting a lamp with the correct type of cap will ensure a stable fixation in the lamp holder. G4 lamps come with a pin-type cap. The very designation G4 means that the distance between the miniature pins is 4 mm.
Lamp Features
Lamps with G4 socket are compact in size. This makes it possible to use them in small spotlights . Since the lamp is small in size, it has small voltage values that vary depending on the model in the range from 12 to 24 V.
By design, the lamps with the G4 socket are both halogen and LED. The second option does not heat up and will work up to 50 thousand hours, consuming a small amount of energy.
The area of use of lamps with a G4 socket is very large - they are used everywhere, where too little light is required. For example, they are often used in spotlights to illuminate niches or mirrors in the bathroom. Also, the lamps have found their application in car showrooms. They have a long service life and a quick replacement - remove the lamp from the spot and replace it with a new one with a few movements. In this case, the lamp withstands strong voltage drops. Availability of both halogen and lED Light Bulbs With this type of socle opens the possibilities for using them with different luminaires.

Such lamps are also called capsular, in appearance they resemble a miniature spaceship. Among other types of halogen lamps, they are the smallest. The capsule replaces the protective glass, and the external reflector is sprayed on the back of the capsule. Thanks to the design features, they can be used in decorative lamps of the most unusual shape, and with a minimal space for light sources.
Features
The halogen lamp on the G4 is almost always low-voltage, although for the assortment, versions with a power supply of 220 volts are also produced. Her light is scattered. The shape of the cap is pin, and the distance between the contacts is 4 mm. The name G4 is the designation of the size of the socle. Lamps can have several variations of color temperatures on the Kelvin scale:
- * - Cold light - 6400 K;
- * - Neutral -4200 K;
- * - Warm - 2700 K.
Different capacities of halogen lamps (from 10 to 150 W) will allow buyers to choose the capsules necessary for brightness. When installing, it is important to remember that the work should be done with gloves, otherwise, due to fingerprints on the bulb, the device may become unusable (the glass itself from overheating at this point may crack).
Principle of operation of capsular halogen lamps on G4
The capsule halogen lamp consists of a bulb (capsule), which is made of quartz glass and has a rounded shape, and pin socket. Inside is a metallized thread of tungsten, and the capsule itself is filled with iodine and bromine in the gaseous state. Thanks to the chemical reaction, the filament is heated and glow occurs. It turns out very bright, despite the small dimensions of the bulb.
If you plan to install lamps in a place where it is often not very convenient to replace them, it is recommended to choose halogen lamps with increased life. On average, the period varies between 2000-4000 hours.
The use of halogen lamps on G4
Bright illumination, low cost, long service life, miniature sizes, originality of form make capsule halogen lamps on G4 a favorite device in designer lamps and lighting of art objects.
The pin base is suitable for use in wall and table sconces, night lighting devices; for working in embedded niches, indoors and on external structures - on facades, in suspended ceilings, niches, etc.
Apply them and there, where you need to disguise the light source, in a beautiful chandelier such a light bulb will not be visible, the whole accent will be shifted to the side of the luxurious kind of lamp.
Capsule halogen lamps G4 are also used as a decorative lighting source or spotlight on advertising signs, shop windows. They are widely used in shopping centers, shops, cafes, hotels, museums, exhibitions, houses. Highlight individual zones in the home or office, beautifully emphasize the shelves, mirrors - for this best suited halogen capsule lamps.
The most qualitative color rendition to date is characteristic of halogen lamps. Lamps of this type - the brightest, in addition, they have a light return at times higher than Illich's light bulbs, and the service life is doubled. Such lamps are characterized by a directional glow.
Capsule halogen lamps - this is the newest stage in the development of the general concept of lamps and light sources. Due to their relatively small dimensions (up to ten millimeters across) they are used absolutely anywhere and at the same time to maintain high color rendering and light output. Such lamps can be used with the same efficiency, both for creating lighting in the office, and for highlighting some interior details. On average, such lamps serve up to four thousand hours. The number in the marking means the distance in millimeters from one pin on the plinth to the other. Halogen lamps do not need to use a transformer to provide some freedom in the design of lighting compositions.
Linear halogen lamps is a modern version of tubular halogen lamps. In contrast to its progenitors, the amount of harmful carbon dioxide emissions is noticeably reduced in linear, and the performance of heat is reduced. Lamps of this type can be used both for outdoor lighting and for creating indoor lighting. They serve up to two thousand hours.
Halogen lamps sometimes equipped with special reflectors, they can be used to create both general and directional lighting. A large number of species in the halogen in our catalog allows you to choose a lamp of absolutely different sizes and configurations. The color temperature of this type of lamp is 2700K, they exude a soft yellow light.
Halogen lamps can also be used without protective glass. Thanks to the use of UV-reducing glass, it is even possible to exceed the requirements of the most stringent standards for protection against it (IEC 60432).
