Not all LED lamps are created equal. These are both G9 LED replacements. As you can see, the one on the left is 3-inches long. It is 5 watts and is dimmable. It does fit into many wall sconces just fine but is too large for many of the vanity fixtures. The one on the right is just over 2-inches. It is 4.5 watts and is dimmable. It fits into most sconces and vanity fixtures. It is still too large for some glass and the center of light is higher than the original halogen. A halogen lamp measures 1-3/4 inches (including the pins) and it available is several wattages.
So the next time you go shopping for LED replacement bulbs, be prepared and take your measurements with you! A few more details to check before buying: double check that you have the right lamps base, voltage, color temperature, and dimmable compatibility. You will be glad you took the extra time!
