Product Identity

The Philips PL-L 18W compact fluorescent bulb delivers 1200 lumens at a 3500K colour temperature with an 82 CRI. It fits fixtures that accept a 2G11 four-pin base and measures 8.92 inches in overall length with a 1.53-inch diameter. The lamp is rated for 10000 hours of life and contains mercury.

Deciding Specification

The 2G11 four-pin base is the single detail that determines whether this lamp will install in your luminaire; fixtures with two-pin or other plug-in sockets will not accept it.

Who This Suits

This bulb suits maintenance teams relamping commercial display, hospitality, office, restaurant or warehouse fixtures that already use the PL-L 18W 3500K format. Buyers who need a different colour temperature, higher lumen output, a two-pin base or a mercury-free alternative should look at other options.

Questions about this item

How much visible light does the 1200 lumen rating deliver in a typical office fixture?

The 1200 lumen output provides bright, even illumination suitable for retail displays, offices and hospitality areas when used in a compatible 2G11 fixture.

What does the 2G11 4-pin base require from the ballast or driver?

The 2G11 4-pin base connects to a compatible electronic ballast rated for 18 W at 58 V; the lamp will not operate on mains voltage directly.

Will the 8.92 inch length and 1.53 inch diameter fit my existing recessed housing?

The lamp measures 8.92 in (226.6 mm) overall length and 1.53 in (39.0 mm) diameter; check your housing internal clearance against these dimensions.
