Plug-In CFL Standard Bulb 26W

The GE Plug-In CFL Standard Bulb is a 26-watt fluorescent lamp designed for commercial and residential fixtures that accept a G24d-3 two-pin base. It suits offices, retail spaces or hallways where consistent white light is required.

1,710 lumens and 10,000-hour life

The bulb delivers 1,710 lumens at a colour rendering index of 82, providing a 100-watt incandescent equivalency for general lighting tasks. Output will gradually decline over the rated 10,000-hour lifespan, after which replacement is needed.

Non-dimmable ballast-dependent operation

Power draw is fixed at 26 watts and the lamp operates only on a compatible magnetic or electronic ballast; it cannot be dimmed. The frosted T4 glass envelope runs cooler than an incandescent equivalent, producing minimal audible noise in normal use.

Questions about this item

Will the 26 W plug-in CFL run on the existing magnetic ballast in my older G24d-3 fixture?

The bulb requires a ballast-dependent voltage; it is designed for 2-pin G24d-3 sockets that use a compatible magnetic ballast, so it will operate with the ballast already in that fixture.

How can I confirm the 3500 K lamp is delivering its rated 1710 lumens after installation?

A lux meter held at the working plane will show the expected illuminance for a 1710 lm source at 3500 K, and the 82 CRI ensures colours appear as specified.

Does the box include a ballast or only the frosted T4 tube with 2-pin G24d-3 base?

Only the plug-in CFL bulb itself is supplied; the required magnetic ballast for the G24d-3 socket must already be present in the fixture or purchased separately.
