Purpose & fit

The Philips ESB 409867 is a 20 W 6 V halogen capsule with a G4 two-pin base, T3.5 shape and clear finish. It delivers 480 lumens and a colour rendering index of 100 for accurate colour reproduction. The compact lamp measures 0.351 inches in diameter and 1.209 inches overall length. It suits commercial theatre, museum, landscape and living-room fixtures that accept a G4 base.

Replaces & upgrade path

This lamp directly replaces an existing 20 W 6 V G4 halogen capsule such as the 7388 type when the rated 100-hour life has been reached. The jump is worthwhile when a fixture demands the full 480 lumen output and perfect CRI of a halogen source. It is not for buyers who want longer service intervals or lower heat output, since the 100-hour rating and 20 W draw remain unchanged.

Practical limits

The G4 base restricts use to low-voltage 6 V systems with a compatible transformer or driver; mains-voltage sockets will destroy the lamp. The 100-hour rated life means frequent replacement in high-duty applications such as stage or display lighting. The 3.5 mm T3.5 envelope and 1.209 inch length require a fixture cavity that accommodates those exact dimensions.

Questions about this item

Will the G4 2-pin base with a .351 inch diameter fit my existing socket?

The bulb uses a G4 2-pin base measuring .351 inches in diameter, designed for standard low-voltage G4 sockets.

How do I install the T3.5 halogen capsule without shortening its 100-hour rated life?

Handle the clear T3.5 capsule with a clean cloth to avoid oil contamination, then press the pins firmly into the G4 socket until seated.

When should I replace this 20W 6V bulb after it reaches 100 hours of use?

Replace the lamp once it reaches the rated 100-hour lifetime or when light output drops below the initial 480 lumens.
