I just replaced my G4 ceiling lights using the Superbright LEDs
G4-WHP10-D warm white 3100k, which cost
$15 each.
As shown, the inner metal ring containing the glass lens is pried loose and partially out, with difficulty using the finger nails (to avoid scratches on the metal), and then easily pried out using a flat blade screwdriver.
Once the LED is installed, the 2 wide opposing slots (see photo of lens rim on black pillow) in the rim tabs of the inner metal ring must match up and fit over the 2 fixture support bars (seen in bottom left photo at 7:00 of the rim space) to allow the metal rim to be matched and pushed back into the fixture.
The G4 10 watt halogen reading lights were replaced with
G4-WHP15-T $17each.
The wedge base incandescent bulb in the over the stove/exhaust fan light fixture was replaced with
T10-PCB-WHP9 White LED Lamp (warm white 3100K). $22 each
I will be replacing my bathroom and over the kitchen counter lights with
1156-PCB-xWHP9 3100K WARM WHITE. $22/lamp
We are very happy with the savings in battery draw, the amount of light transmission, and reduced heat emission.
