Hi everyone,

The kitchen fitting says G4 12V 20W

I want a LED as bright as possible, a 20W LED would be like the Sun.

But what is the brightest 12V LED I can get, like 5W or more?

    http://amzn.to/2hJCeeD - These are 2W G4 LEDs which are warm white (3000K) and average brightness (120 Lumen). But when you plug a cluster of them together in a chandelier like system, they may be bright enough for your use as they are equivalent to 15W halogen.

    If you insist on having even brighter ones, browse through and choose the G4 LEDs with higher LUMEN value. On the other hand as the K (Kelvin) value rises, the colour changes from warm white to natural white and then to cool white.

    All the best.
