  • Warm 3000 K light creates a cosy atmosphere
  • 755 lumens from only 13 watts saves energy

  • Dimmable with compatible ballast for flexible lighting control
  • 4-pin G24Q-1 base fits standard plug-in fixtures

Plug-In CFL Bulb 13 W G24Q-1

This 13 W compact fluorescent lamp uses a G24Q-1 4-pin base and delivers 755 lm at 3000 K warm white light. It is rated for 17,000 hours of operation and has a colour rendering index of 82.0. The T4 tube measures 5 in overall length and features rapid start ballast-dependent operation. Dimmable performance depends on the connected ballast.

Suits Fixtures with G24Q-1 Sockets

Buyers replacing existing 4-pin plug-in CFLs in compatible downlights or wall sconces will find a direct fit. The lamp is not shatter-resistant and requires a suitable ballast, so it is unsuitable for fixtures without integrated ballasts or for mains-voltage screw-base sockets. Users needing instant full brightness or higher CRI should consider alternative technologies.

Check Ballast and Fixture Compatibility

Verify that the existing fixture accepts a G24Q-1 4-pin base and provides a ballast matched to 13 W T4 lamps. Confirm the physical length clears the housing, as the lamp extends 5 in. Ensure the dimming control, if used, is rated for fluorescent ballast loads. No external starter or separate ballast purchase is included.

Questions about this item

What type of ballast does the F13DBX/ECO4P require to operate?

This 13 W plug-in CFL is ballast-dependent and needs a compatible 4-pin G24Q-1 ballast to function.

Will the 13 W CFL work in a fixture that previously held a 2-pin G24d base lamp?

No, the 4-pin G24Q-1 base is physically different from a 2-pin G24d base and will not fit.

How can I verify the lamp is performing correctly after installation?

The bulb should reach full brightness quickly with its rapid start, deliver 755 lm of 3000 K warm white light and show a CRI of 82.0.
