10 W 6 V G4 Halogen Bulb

This 10 watt halogen bulb operates on 6 volts and uses a G4 two-pin base. It delivers 200 lumens with a colour rendering index of 100 for accurate colour representation. The compact design suits residential lamps, desk fixtures and hanging lights. It is also rated for specialised equipment such as microscopes and projectors.

G4 Base and 6 Volt Operation

The two-pin G4 base plugs directly into compatible low-voltage sockets without additional adapters. Its 6 volt requirement means the fixture must supply a matching transformer or power source. The small physical footprint frees space inside tight housings such as desk lamps or medical instruments. No external ballast or driver is needed beyond the correct voltage supply.

100 Hour Rated Life Under Continuous Use

The filament is rated for 100 hours of continuous operation at the specified voltage. Light output and colour quality remain consistent until the end of the rated lifespan. Frequent switching or voltage fluctuations can reduce the effective service interval. The bulb is designed for steady-state applications rather than repeated short bursts.

Questions about this item

How quickly does the 100-hour rated life limit appear when the bulb runs continuously?

At 10 watts the filament reaches its 100-hour rated life after roughly four days of non-stop operation.

What heat or noise should I expect from the 10-watt halogen capsule after hours of use?

The 10-watt halogen capsule becomes very hot and is silent; allow airflow and avoid touching it until cooled.

Which 6-volt G4 2-pin supply or fixture must I already have for this bulb to work?

You need a 6-volt source with a G4 2-pin socket — typical in desk lamps, microscopes or projector housings.
