Dimmable G4 that’s LED

Kim_kim

Is there such a thing as an LED low energy (perhaps 1w), G4 bulb?
I’ve looked everywhere, I can find dimmable & I can find low energy, I can’t find the two together.

probably not. if you did find one I'd imagine it'd be expensive.
fit a dimmer?

Am I missing something? Surely there's lots?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/g4-dimmable-led-bulbs/s?k=g4+dimmable+led+bulbs  The 'smallest' seems to be 1.5W, equivalent to 15W incandescent.

A quick google, but not as low wattage as 1W:

https://www.lighting.philips.co.uk/consumer/p/led-capsule--dimmable-/8718699767518 is the makers' website.

Amazon have some from unknown brands, too.

Could you explain what this is for, KimKim - what are you trying to achieve? This might help us to determine the best sources or alternatives.

I was thinking the OP wanted some fairly dim bulbs? 
anyway, if that is the case you should be using lumens as a measure of brightness instead of Watts. watts is power consumed.
unlikely example but theoretically one LED lighting manufacturer might one day develops a new technology that is so efficient it produces 1000 Lm/Watt. if someone were to buy a 1W bulb assuming it'd be dim, they'd be disappointed when it was really quite bright!

I could be wrong, but I think all the bulbs linked so far have been low voltage, usually 12V. The OP didn't actually specify, but if they were after a dimmable mains voltage (230-240V) bulb then these seen more difficult to find.

I *think* that all G4 - with their two thin parallel pins - are all very low voltage? 
The 'mains' equivalent is, I guess, G9, but these have very different connectors.

I’ve got a dimmer - hence I’m asking for dimmable bulbs.

It’s for a decorative light thing.  It replicates mini candles.

That Phillips one is what I want.  But that’s not a selling page, just an info one. 

I’ll see if I can find it with the description.
