26 W GX24q-3 CFL for commercial fixtures
The SYLVANIA 20880 is a 26 watt compact fluorescent lamp built for plug-in electronic or dimming ballasts. Its GX24q-3 four-pin base fits recessed downlights and surface-mounted luminaires in offices, retail spaces and hospitality venues. The triple-tube design delivers 1800 lumens at a warm 3000K colour temperature. A colour rendering index of 82 provides acceptable colour fidelity for general interior lighting.
Triple-tube glass with four-pin plug-in base
The transparent triple-tube envelope measures five inches overall and seats directly into a GX24q-3 socket without a separate starter. Four-pin configuration ensures compatibility with electronic and dimming ballasts, allowing light-level control where required. The lamp operates at 26 watts and is rated for 12000 hours of service life under normal switching cycles. No integrated ballast or driver is included; the fixture must supply the correct gear.
Direct replacement for existing GX24q-3 lamps
The package contains the single fluorescent bulb only; no ballast, socket adapter or mounting hardware is supplied. Installers simply remove the old lamp and insert this unit into the existing four-pin base. Buyers who need a self-ballasted screw-in lamp or an LED retrofit kit will not find those components here. The product serves as a like-for-like fluorescent replacement in compatible fixtures.
