Five checks decide the fit
A shared base or wattage alone is not enough. Work down the list with the old bulb and fixture label in hand.
- 01
Socket
Match G9 exactly. The T4 code describes the bulb envelope, not the socket. Open the G9 base guide.
- 02
Electrical rating
The source lists 120 V. Confirm that against the fixture and local supply.
- 03
Brightness, not “watts”
Target about 800 lumens. The 60 W figure is input power, not brightness.
- 04
Physical clearance
The official maximum overall length is 1.69 inches. Check shade, cover, and neck clearance.
- 05
Heat, controls, and location
Enclosed-fixture use is not stated; it is marked dimmable; a wet/damp rating is not stated.

G9 · Looped bi-pin
G9 uses two wire loops rather than straight pins. The lamp pushes into the socket and is common in compact decorative fixtures.

Questions about 0487900
What socket does Westinghouse 0487900 use?
The official record identifies a G9 base. The replacement socket must use the same base code; a similar-looking bulb shape does not establish socket compatibility.
Is Westinghouse 0487900 dimmable?
Yes. The official record marks this model as dimmable, but the installed dimmer must also support the lamp technology and load.
Can Westinghouse 0487900 be used in an enclosed fixture?
The source snapshot does not state an enclosed-fixture rating. Do not infer one from shape or wattage; confirm on the bulb or manufacturer page.
