Compact fluorescent lamp for magnetic ballasts

The Sylvania CF26DD/835/ECO is a 26 watt double tube compact fluorescent lamp built for fixtures using a G24d-3 two-pin base and a magnetic ballast. It suits offices, retail spaces and residential fittings that require a direct replacement for this specific base type.

Thermals noise and power draw

Rated at 26 watts, the lamp operates at the power level expected for this form factor and ballast combination. Compact fluorescent technology runs cooler than incandescent equivalents at similar light output, and the magnetic ballast governs start-up current and steady-state power without audible electronic switching noise.

Ecologic designation and rated life

The Ecologic label indicates reduced mercury content compared to earlier designs, supporting easier disposal under local regulations. A rated life of 10000 hours means less frequent relamping in commercial or high-use domestic fixtures, lowering maintenance intervals over the service life.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2-pin G24d-3 base into a magnetic ballast fixture, and what step is often missed?

Align the two pins with the socket keyway and push straight in until the lamp seats fully; the step often missed is confirming the fixture uses a magnetic ballast, because this lamp will not operate on electronic ballasts.

What maintenance or replacement will the SYLVANIA CF26DD/835/ECO need after its rated life?

After 10000 hours the lamp reaches end of life and must be replaced; no intermediate maintenance is required for the double-tube fluorescent bulb itself.

What is the first limit that appears during sustained operation of this 26-watt CFL?

The 10000-hour rated life is the primary limit; after this point light output drops below useful levels and the lamp must be replaced.
