26 W Double-Tube Fluorescent Bulb

This 26 W compact fluorescent lamp uses a double-tube design and a four-pin G24q-3 base. It delivers 1800 lumens of soft white light at 2700 K for general indoor lighting. The bulb is rated for 12000 hours of life and carries a colour rendering index of 82. It suits fixtures designed for four-pin PL-C lamps.

Four-Pin G24q-3 Base

The single specification that decides fit is the four-pin G24q-3 base, which only works with matching electronic ballasts. Two-pin or other four-pin bases will not connect, and magnetic ballasts will not start the lamp. Verify the fixture label shows G24q-3 before purchase. No adapter can change the pin configuration.

Fixture Integration

The lamp installs directly into a compatible recessed or surface-mounted fixture with a G24q-3 socket and matched electronic ballast. Its double-tube shape concentrates output in a compact envelope, freeing space in shallow housings. The 2700 K colour temperature suits living areas, hallways and hospitality settings. Buyers needing higher output, a different colour temperature or a two-pin base should select another model.
