Product identity

The GE 97580 is an 18W compact fluorescent lamp with a G24D-2 two-pin base and 4100K colour temperature. It suits commercial or residential fixtures that accept plug-in CFL modules.

Replaces incandescent equivalents

This lamp replaces traditional incandescent bulbs by consuming less power while delivering comparable output. The upgrade is worth it when a fixture runs for long periods and the 10 000 hour rated life reduces relamping frequency.

Installation and common issues

Installation requires a compatible G24D-2 socket; the two pins align and push straight in without tools. Common issues include using the lamp on dimmers or electronic ballasts not rated for CFLs, which can cause flicker or premature failure.
