Product Overview
The GE Ecolux 97595 F13DBX/830/ECO4P Double Biax Lamp is a high-efficiency, 13-watt plug-in compact fluorescent (CFL) tube engineered for space-constrained commercial downlights and architectural fixtures. Delivering 900 initial lumens of soft 3000K warm white illumination, this quad-tube lamp features an 82 CRI for enhanced visual clarity and color accuracy. Outfitted with an industry-standard G24q-1 4-pin base and advanced low-mercury Ecolux technology, it provides a reliable 17,000 to 20,000-hour rated average service life when driven by compatible high-frequency control gear.
| Wattage 13W Double Biax CFL | Color Temp 3000K Warm White | Brightness 900 lm 82 CRI Quality | Base Type G24q-1 4-Pin Plug-In | Rated Life 20,000 Max Avg. Hours |
ADL Supply Expert Application & Replacement Guide
The GE F13DBX/830/ECO4P is an industry-recognized solution for maintaining shallow commercial recessed downlights, building hallways, hospitality guest suites, office breakout zones, and restaurant food service fixtures. Delivering a soft 3000K warm white spectrum, it provides an inviting, comfortable environment that reduces glare while maintaining excellent color consistency (82 CRI) throughout its operational duty cycle.
Critical Wiring and Base Compatibility Notice: This model is built with a specialized G24q-1 4-pin plug-in base configuration. It is designed strictly for use with un-shunted lampholders driven by electronic pulse-start ballasts incorporating cathode preheating; it cannot operate on legacy 2-pin magnetic ballast circuits. For facility managers utilizing automated occupancy controls or building light-harvesting systems, this 4-pin capsule is fully rated for architectural dimming when paired with a compatible electronic dimming ballast. Its universal burning position permits trouble-free vertical or horizontal mounting in compact luminaire trays.
| Verify Before Ordering 4-Pin vs. 2-Pin Base Configuration Check This is the 4-PIN version (G24q-1 base) designed for electronic ballasts and dimming systems. It is NOT interchangeable with the 2-pin version (97591 / G24d-1 base), which features an internal starter built strictly for magnetic circuits. Verify your fixture's pin count and socket key orientation prior to shipping checkout to prevent component failure. |

Operation, Safety & Mounting Compliance
Electronic Ballast Control Specifications
This 13W plug-in capsule operates strictly on matching high-frequency electronic ballast systems featuring integrated end-of-life (EOL) shutdown monitoring. Attempting to force a 4-pin G24q-1 lamp directly onto standard unballasted line voltage networks will bypass circuit safety blocks, causing instantaneous filament destruction and introducing a short-circuit risk. Approved factory ballast pairings include the GE GEC213-MVPS-BES (#71428), GE GEC213-MVPS-SE (#71429), or GE GEC213-MVPS-3W (#71430) platforms.
Mercury Stewardship and Disposal Regulations
Featuring GE's proprietary Ecolux chemistry, this lamp successfully satisfies federal Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test benchmarks due to its heavily reduced heavy-metal footprint. While highly optimized for green property maintenance and simplified environmental auditing, it still contains trace toxic mercury elements and must be managed via structured commercial bulk recycling channels during building retrofits rather than standard solid waste facilities.
