G4 Bulb Holder

thingiverse

A winged bracket to hold a G4 LED bulb and 5.5x2.1mm power connector / terminal block. Great for converting your village or holiday decorations to LED bulbs. For my large Halloween village, I can easily branch many of these buildings off a single 12V power adapter. Recommend printing in TPU for flexibility. PETG can also work well. Use a 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel style DC power connector / terminal block such as: https://a.co/d/2pWlLy6 G4 LED Bulbs - 12 volt - 1W or 2W work well. Pay attention to the bulb's base shape... some are rectangular and some are round. I have made two versions to fit each but your actual bulbs may vary. Rectangular Base, 2W, frosted shade, warm white: https://a.co/d/ioaTxro Round Base, 1W, warm white: https://a.co/d/dXocMTB If your LED bulb is too bright or the light is not to your liking, you can use paint, tape, or a 3D printed "shade" to augment the illumination. I put a file for a 3D printed vase mode shade that works great for the bulbs I used. Since different bulbs and terminal blocks will have slightly different sizes, there is also a "solid DIY" version. Use your favorite modeling tool to make appropriate cut-outs. Link to Video coming soon
