GU9 LED recommendations

Any recommendations for GU9 bulbs? Natural to warm white

I have a few but they seem to offer a strobe effect, for example if I spin a bicycle wheel there is a weird effect on the spokes like the bulbs are outputting frequency where it causes strobe.

You mean a very fast flickering effect?
This can also be down to the actual switch being used to control the bulbs rather than the bulbs themselves. So something to consider if not done yet.

You mean the actual lightswitch on the wall?

It's not a dimmer

I'll need to buy new bulbs so I'll make sure I buy non dimmable ones

Did you mean G9 and not GU9?
My cooker hood uses the G9, and the first ones I bought flickered, I specifically had to buy non flicker ones.. I believe it’s due to the lack of proper rectification in the bulb, some just half wave rectify with almost no smoothing so you get a 50hz flicker, or something like that..

If you get dimmable ones advertised as no flicker, they tend to be the best, for you, just search for 4000k dimmable g9 flicker free and there are plenty around (assuming you want something between warm (2700k) and daylight (6000k)

I've had good results from the LAP versions from Screwfix / B&Q
