Purpose and fit
The Ushio CF26DE/835 is a 26 watt dimmable fluorescent bulb with a G24Q-3 four-pin base. It suits fixtures that accept this base type and users who want adjustable light levels in a 3500K colour temperature.
Thermals noise and power
At 26 watts the bulb draws modest power and runs cooler than higher-wattage alternatives. Fluorescent operation is inherently quiet with no audible fan or coil noise in normal use.
Deciding specification
The G24Q-3 base is the single detail that determines compatibility; the bulb will only work in sockets designed for this four-pin configuration. Buyers with two-pin or other keyed bases cannot use this lamp.

Questions about this item
How do I install this G24Q-3 base fluorescent bulb and what step is often missed?
Align the four pins with the socket keyway and push straight in until the bulb seats firmly; the step often missed is not twisting — this base uses a straight push-fit, not a twist-lock.
What maintenance or replacement will this 26W fluorescent bulb need later?
Plan to replace the bulb after approximately 10000 hours of use; no other maintenance is required for the lamp itself.
What limit appears first when this 1800 lumen bulb runs continuously?
The 10000-hour rated life is the first limit reached under sustained operation; lumen output will gradually decline as the lamp ages.
