Anyone found any LED bulbs to replace G4 halogen capsules?

I've tried a couple.

This style was underpowered:

and the SMD version were too fat to go into the glass light fitting

Ideally I want 10-15 watt equivalent power, and physically no bigger at tall than the halogen capsules.
Any recommendations?

Could always try the[url= http://www.ledhut.co.uk/spot-lights/g4-led-bulbs.html ]LEDHut[/url] if you haven't already. They are very good at taking things back when they don't fit (again) 😀

Philips do some. Not cheap, I think they are around £14 each!

I am also not sure how powerful they are but all the other Philips LED's I have tried have been very good.

I had a light with very narrow glass tubes, found some very narrow ones on amazon that fit... Just. I ordered one to try it, i'll see if I can find them in my back orders...... Hang on!

was the one I got 10mm diameter, although a quick amazon search found some at 9.5mm and cheaper in packs of 5 or 10
