SYLVANIA 20883 | CF32DT/E/IN/827/ECO 32W Dulux® T/E Triple Tube CFL Lamp

The Sylvania 20883 (CF32DT/E/IN/827/ECO) is a high-output, energy-efficient **Dulux® T/E** plug-in compact fluorescent lamp engineered for demanding commercial and architectural spaces. Consuming **32 Watts**, this T4 triple-tube (3U) lamp utilizes an advanced **amalgam composition** to ensure stable, optimum light delivery in high-heat environments. It generates **2400 initial lumens** of soft, welcoming **2700K Warm White** light. Featuring a **GX24q-3 4-pin base**, this **ECOLOGIC®** lamp is fully dimmable and designed for high-frequency electronic ballast systems, serving as a non-hazardous, sustainable lighting solution.

Advanced Amalgam Technology for Elevated Temperatures

Unlike standard compact fluorescent lamps, Sylvania Dulux T/E IN models incorporate a specialized mercury amalgam core. This allows the lamp to preserve its ideal lumen matrix across fluctuating ambient temperatures, achieving its absolute peak performance at **35°C (95°F)** when operated in a base-up position. This makes it exceptionally suited for enclosed architectural downlights and high-ceiling recessed commercial canisters where trapped thermal load degrades normal lamp output.

• ECOLOGIC® Environmental Compliance: Explicitly designed to pass the Federal Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test, verifying its safety profile as non-hazardous waste in most states.
• Electronic Ballast Matching: Features a 4-pin electronic configuration. NEMA recommends pairing this lamp with high-frequency ballasts equipped with an active end-of-life (EOL) shutdown circuit to protect hardware.
• Lifespan Calibration: Average rated life of 12,000 hours is structured on standard 3-hour burn cycles. Utilizing longer, continuous burning cycles will extend standard running life.
• High Lumen Retention: Maintains a high mean rating of 2002 lumens over the course of its operational lifecycle, keeping work areas brightly lit.
