Brilliance Micro T5 LED Wedge Lamp, 1.2W, 2700K
A long life warm white LED swap for old 12 V T5 wedge path light bulbs.
We bought Paradise GL22671PN4 Low Voltage 11-Watt Incandescent T5 Wedge Base Bulbs, 12-Volt, Clear (4-Pack). It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. Incandescent T5 wedge bulbs are largely phased out, so this is a current 12 V LED T5 wedge replacement from a landscape lighting maker with readable dealer documentation.
The short version
- Owners of older 12 V path, step or deck lights that take T5 wedge bulbs
- Anyone tired of replacing incandescent wedge bulbs every season
- Your system runs on an electronic transformer with a high minimum load and you plan to convert every fixture
- You need the same brightness as an 11 W bulb in a large fixture, since this one is rated against a 10 W halogen
What owners like
- LED wedge swaps cut power draw sharply and last far longer than incandescent bulbs
- Warm 2700K bulbs are preferred over cooler LEDs that can look greenish in landscape fixtures
Common complaints
- LED bulbs on older electronic transformers can flicker or drop out when the total load falls below the minimum
- Some 12 V AC landscape systems make cheap LEDs look stroboscopic
- Dealer listings disagree slightly on lumens and water rating

What it does
A small 12 volt LED bulb with a T5 wedge base for landscape path and step lights, reviewed here as the closest well documented match to the Paradise 11 watt incandescent T5 four pack that was bought.
- Ceramic body sized to fit tight path and step light housings
- Dimmable with Brilliance dimmers and most magnetic transformers
- Approved for damp locations and totally enclosed fixtures
- Omni directional output that suits pathway fixtures
- Uses UL recognized components
A good pick for anyone converting older 12 volt path lights from incandescent or halogen wedge bulbs to LED and wanting a warm 2700K color with a long rated life. The trade-offs are a higher cost per bulb than generic packs and the usual LED caveat: some electronic transformers need a minimum load, so check yours before swapping every bulb.
