What this bulb is and where it fits

The Sylvania CF28TW/E/827/LS is a 28 watt compact fluorescent lamp producing 1675 lumens at 2700 K warm white. It uses a GZ16q twist pin base and carries a 20027 manufacturer code. Rated life is 10000 hours, equating to roughly nine years of typical use. It is intended for general indoor lighting in living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms.

Check before ordering

Verify that your fixture accepts a GZ16q base with an insert and twist action, as this lamp will not fit standard screw or other pin bases. Confirm the fixture is rated for at least 28 watts and is designed for compact fluorescent operation. Ensure the physical length and diameter of the bulb suit the shade or enclosure you plan to use.

Behaviour under sustained load

During continuous operation the lamp maintains its 1675 lumen output and 2700 K colour temperature over the 10000 hour rated life. Enhanced phosphors reduce the harsh glare associated with early CFL designs, delivering consistent warm white light throughout extended use. The nine year life rating reflects stable performance under daily, long duration cycles.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need a special fixture?

The box contains the 28 W compact fluorescent bulb with a GZ16q twist-pin base. You need a compatible GZ16q socket; no separate ballast is required because the unit has an integrated electronic ballast.

Which version should I pick if I want the warm-white option shown in the title?

The model ending in 827 delivers 2700 K warm white light at 1675 lumens. Other colour codes would give different colour temperatures, so choose 827 for the warm-white version.

How bright will 1675 lumens actually look in a living-room lamp?

1675 lumens from a 28 W CFL roughly matches the output of a traditional 100 W incandescent, providing strong warm-white illumination suitable for general living-room lighting.
