Sylvania 26 W Fluorescent Bulb

The Sylvania CF26DT/E/IN/835/ECO is a 26 watt compact fluorescent lamp built for fixtures that accept a GX24q-3 four-pin base. It delivers a rated life of 12000 hours and a colour rendering index of 82, making it a direct replacement for existing CFL downlights and wall sconces in commercial or residential settings.

Suits existing four-pin CFL fixtures.

This lamp suits installers maintaining luminaires designed for the GX24q-3 base and 26 watt triple-tube geometry. It will not fit standard Edison screw sockets, two-pin CFL holders or ballasts rated for different wattages, so buyers needing those interfaces should look at other lamp types.

GX24q-3 four-pin base decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the GX24q-3 four-pin base; the lamp only operates on matching electronic ballasts wired for 26 watt triple-tube CFLs. Verify the fixture label lists this exact base and wattage before purchase, as no adapter can bridge a different pin arrangement.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 26 W fluorescent bulb add to a room during all-day use?

At 26 watts the lamp converts most input power into light, so the heat contribution stays modest compared with higher-wattage alternatives.

Which fixture base does the GX24q-3 4-pin bulb need to operate?

It requires a compatible GX24q-3 4-pin socket; the fixture must accept that exact base type.

Can the 835 colour-code lamp run on the same magnetic ballast as older T4 tubes?

The 4-pin design is built for electronic ballasts; magnetic ballasts for older tubes will not support it.
