Product Overview
The Philips 149013 PL-T 42W/830/4P/ALTO is a high-output triple-tube compact fluorescent lamp used in commercial recessed downlights, corridor fixtures, retail lighting, offices, and institutional facilities. It provides 3,200 initial lumens in a 3000K soft white color temperature with 82 CRI.
This lamp uses a GX24q-4 4-pin plug-in base and is designed for compatible electronic ballast operation. It is not a screw-base lamp, not self-ballasted, and must not be connected directly to 120V line voltage.
The PL-T triple-tube design provides high lumen output from a compact lamp body, making it useful in fixtures where a strong light output is required from limited fixture space. The ALTO® designation indicates Philips low-mercury fluorescent lamp technology.
