Gave them 4 stars because the light given off is not as bright as I expected. I use 3 bulbs at a time on a cluster lamp at the top of the stair way. The light given off is a bit too dim for my liking so in future I would use a bulb with a higher wattage. Its not the fault of the bulbs I should have ordered a brighter type.

I specifically bought these 5W lamps to replace some 3W ones that I bought about 2 years ago. The main reason I bought them was because my original 3W ones were nowhere near bright enough for what I wanted (ie they were way below the lighting level of the very original 40W halogens), but at the time were the best I could find in dimmable G9 capsules. I was therefore rather hoping that the 5W lamps would be somewhat brighter (perhaps even as bright as a 40W halogen). In fact I have two lighting units each containing 3 lamps and with both lighting units on at full brightness there is no discernable difference between the new 5W lamps and the old 3W lamps....so much so that I have not deemed it worth even bothering to fit the lamps to the other lighting unit. So....I would say that these are dimmable G9 capsules, they do work and appear to be of suitable build quality. The price was also very reasonable - however, as they are no different in brightness to my 3W lamps then I cannot recommend them and I will probably refit my old 3W lamps back in the light.Read full review

These bulbs are whiter than regular halogen capsule bulbs, but I like this. They are sold as dimmable, and they dim smoothly with my 'normal' dimmer switch (using a 'trailing edge' dimmer is normally recommended). Whether this reduces the life of the LEDs I will find out in due course. One issue that I have is that the plastic base of the capsule, where the looped terminals are found, is much thicker than my original glass capsules, so the LED ones won't fit into the holder. I found this out just after ordering more bulbs for these fittings, but WowLED accepted my request to cancel the reorder - Thanks.

I first bought 5 of these bulbs in a pack and I was so impressed that I have ordered a further 10 to put in other lamps in my sitting room and dining room. The lamps have small bombs and the older type that were 2" long were a bit to big to fit properly. These let the dumb fit as they should and seem to give off the light of a 40W halogen bulb that was to hot for to use in these lamps. These are FIRST CLASS and will hope to have them for a long time and will buy more of these when I need to. I recommend these to all.

Although they are dimmable they flicker and buzz in any setting. I tried them with 3 different types of lamps which have used LEDs before and they were all the same.
