Philips PL-T 32W 4-Pin Compact Fluorescent

This Philips PL-T 32W compact fluorescent bulb delivers 2400 lumens at a cool white 4100K colour temperature. It uses a 4-pin GX24Q-3 base and is designed for indoor fixtures that accept PL-T triple-tube lamps. The bulb suits commercial or residential spaces needing efficient, instant-start lighting with a colour rendering index of 82.

Compatibility check before ordering

Verify that your fixture accepts a 4-pin GX24Q-3 base and is rated for a 32W PL-T lamp. The bulb requires a compatible electronic ballast; it is not dimmable and will not work on line voltage or with magnetic ballasts. Ensure the fixture is for indoor use only, as the lamp is not rated for outdoor exposure.

Sustained-load behaviour

The lamp maintains its 2400-lumen output over a rated life of 16000 hours with instant start performance down to -20 degrees F. It operates at 101V and 32W continuously without the warm-up delay common in some fluorescent types. The ALTO design reduces mercury content, but the bulb is not shatter-resistant, so handle with care during installation and replacement.

Questions about this item

Does the box include a ballast or only the PL-T 32W 4-pin tube?

Only the PL-T 32W 4-pin compact fluorescent tube is supplied; a compatible GX24Q-3 ballast must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the 4100K cool-white version or a different colour temperature?

The 4100K cool-white option sits in the 4000–4999K range and gives neutral white light; select a warmer or cooler model only if you need a different appearance.

Will the 2400 lumen output match a 100W incandescent in my existing fixture?

The 2400 lumen rating is equivalent to a 100W incandescent, so brightness will be comparable provided the fixture accepts a 32W 4-pin PL-T lamp.
