Philips 383364 26W PL-C Double Tube

This Philips 383364 is a 26 watt compact fluorescent lamp with a double tube design and 4 pin G24Q-3 base. It delivers 1800 lumens at 3500K colour temperature with a CRI of 82. Rated life is 12000 hours. Suitable for commercial or residential recessed fixtures requiring this specific pin configuration.

Check fixture ballast and base compatibility

Verify that your existing luminaire uses a G24Q-3 4 pin socket and an electronic ballast rated for 26 watt PL-C lamps. Magnetic ballasts will not operate this bulb correctly. Ensure the fixture housing accommodates the double tube length. Do not install in sockets designed for 2 pin or other pin spacing.

Fits G24Q-3 recessed downlights and wall sconces

The 4 pin base plugs directly into compatible electronic ballasts, eliminating the need for a separate starter. The 3500K output provides neutral white light for offices, corridors or retail displays. The double tube layout concentrates output in a compact form factor, freeing space inside shallow plenums compared to larger single tube alternatives.
