LED G9 to E27 adapter problem

[Davido]

I have a pendant lamp that came with a 28w G9 halogen. Changed this for a 5w G9 LED but unsurprisingly not brighter. Therefore tried a G9 to E27 adapter, but a 9w E27 bulb doesn't work. What is going wrong?

No idea.

Faulty adapter?

Faulty lamp?

You sure you screwed it in all the way?

Bulb checked and working in another sockets. Adapter so simple there seems little to go wrong and checked that the G9 pins connect through electrically to the E27 base a screw sides. Also bent up base contact to make sure that bulb was screwed in to touch this.
