Halogen JCD Type Light
Bulbs
JCD Type halogen light bulbs
are line voltage (120-130 volt) halogen capsules with pins on the base. These
halogen light bulbs may be found in puck lights, under-counter lights, desk
lamps, pendant lighting, and accent lighting. JCD type halogen light bulbs have
either GY6.35, G8, or G9 bases. The GY6.35 base measures 6.35mm between pins,
while the G8 base measures 8mm between pins. G9 base JCD type halogen light
bulbs have two loops on the base instead of straight pins, and they have become
increasingly popular. JCD Type Halogen Light Bulbs are available with both clear
and frosted glass.
Please note that JCD type
halogen light bulbs should not be touched with bare skin. Halogen light bulbs
utilize a semi-permeable glass with can be penetrated by oil from skin. The
oil creates hot spots on the glass that reduces the bulb's life.
