Our lighting max at 50W, we need the light as bright as possible. Which G9 LED would you recommend?

My husband and I were looking for LED light bulbs to replace the four halogen bulbs in one of our ceiling fan lights. We bought this bulb, FACTOP LED Corn Bulb 85-265V G9 7W, so far we have only replaced one as we are waiting for the others to blow before replacing them. The difference in the amount of light from only one bulb is amazing.

I have purchased these led 85-265v G9 light bulbs and they are great. They are more of a bright light, not yellow and not blue. We really like them.

this is the highest wattage G9 LED I have found, it is comparable to a 40 watt G9 in brightness, but this bulb is larger than the standard incandescent G9 of course.

This light is bright for what it is, but if you're looking for brighter at the same power consumption I would suggest a G9 COB LED. COB for circuit on board.

look for Buck Block at LED Supply. This big boy will supplement your 36volt supply to provide the constant current drive these LEDs need to stay happy. Be aware you will need a humongous heat-sink or forced air cooling to actually use this. And 8-9000 Lumens is a LOT of light. Most real life applications don't need that much light output. It's a fun toy though :) (Yeah, I bought one!)

No, a higher wattage doesn't help. It's bright enough for my taste, but if you don't like pink light, buy a white light. I wish I had waited for the out-of-stock white globe.

I've had the TT-AL09 120w for over a year now that has just the blues and whites. I agree with GCO and definitely look at a full spectrum fixture if you will have light hungry corals. I hope TaoTronics considers building a full spectrum light again.

Definitely. Using 3 60W equivalent LED bulbs is really bright. This lamp is really pretty, and I highly recommend that you use these bulbs, it worked best for me in terms of lighting and the product quality. It really lasts longer compared to the previous bulbs I've used. I hope it helps! Triangle Bulbs T95123-6 (6pack) - LED Dimmable 60 Watt Equivalent Daylight A19 Light Bulbs, 6 pack

If you want something stronger check this out its 800 Lumens here is a link to a great beautiful designed R20 LED Bulb Triangle Bulbs T95059-6 (6 pack) - 9-Watt (50-Watt) R20 Indoor Flood LED Light Bulb, Soft white, 800 Lumens, 6-Pack

I would chose the 60* option. The LED lights do not have as wide of a field of light as a halogen light. The amp draw is low so you can add more lights to compensate.

Actually, I'd really recommend that you use an LED bulb for this lamp since it doesn't heat up. Also, using a 40W equivalent LED Globe bulb worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient.

Thanks. I have a power max 17w bulb I bought last week, and although it shows great blues and reds, it's not very bright.

Use lumens to compare a light's relative brightness to other lights, not wattage. This light, (which allegedly outputs 3334 lumens) I'd say realistically is in the ballpark of a 150w-200w halogen light. However, this light doesn't need any CTB, has a larger surface (thus is softer), draws only 36w, and runs cool. Those are huge advantages, depending on what you're looking for. 600 LEDs. Google "cn600sa" for more info. It's a generic light from China, sold by many vendors.

35w is low.

Hi Sally, I bought these 6 months ago and they look great. The bulbs are G9, 40W. Look them up, I got mine through Amazon as well, the bulbsfairly inexpensive, they come in packs.
1892050
It would appear the package is a FL5w10L ("L" for Low Power??) when the unit I bought in hand here is a FL5w10. All other literature on the W10 on other sites says "up to 500 Lumen" Since it has high and low power, and I tested it with a Gossen LunaPro and it put out a wee bit over 500 lumen at 10'. The confusing part here is the W9 is suppose to be 192 lumen, so I don't know where the 120 lumen may have come from... and even older package? Good light at one of the best prices on the net.

I use 60W Equivalent LED bulbs and they work best for me. I love the sufficiency of its lighting while being very relaxing for the eyes. This one really lasts longer compared to the one's I've used before. Totally worth your money. Hope it helps!

60W is the maximum but there is no need to reach that limit to obtain that beautiful light we want for our homes. This bulb gives off that beautiful light output with 350 lumens, but only consumes 5W. It doesn't heat up and it perfectly fits. This bulb is really a good find for this lamp, I highly recommend it Triangle Bulbs T90020 (Pack of 2) G16 Decorative Globe Light Bulbs 300 Lumen 5-watt LED Light Bulb with E26 Base, Color 3000K, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

I'm using a 600 watt light. It will work very well. On Amazon there are also square LED lights that really work well. They are a little more expensive but they are superb.
