G4 Bulbs: The Low-Voltage Bi-Pin for Wet Areas, Caravans, and Compact Installations
What is a G4 bulb and where is it used?
A G4 bulb is a compact LED with a bi-pin base where the two pins are spaced 4mm apart. It operates at low voltage (12V or 24V) rather than mains voltage, making it the standard choice for bathroom wet area zones under BS 7671, under-cabinet kitchen lighting, caravan and motorhome interiors, and architectural accent lighting.
The compact physical size fits into small recessed housings and slim under-cabinet fittings that larger bulb forms cannot serve.
Which G4 voltage do I need: 12V or 24V?
12V is the standard for most residential applications: bathroom wet area fittings, under-cabinet kitchen lighting, and caravan systems running on 12V batteries. 24V is used in commercial low-voltage installations and longer cable runs where reduced current is preferred.
Dulora's 12 to 24V AC/DC universal models work across both voltages. Check individual product listings for voltage compatibility.
Do G4 bulbs need a driver?
If the G4 bulb is being installed in a mains-powered fitting, yes: a driver or transformer is required to convert 230V to 12V or 24V. If the bulb is going into a system already running at the correct voltage (caravan battery, solar installation), no driver is needed.
For new installations, a constant-voltage LED driver is recommended. See LED Drivers.
