Product Overview

The Philips PL-C 10W/865/2P is a 10W 6500K Daylight 2-pin compact fluorescent lamp designed for full-spectrum daylight for color evaluation, plant growth, and specialty applications. Rated life of 10,000 hours reduces maintenance frequency in commercial installations. CRI 82 provides good color rendering for task and display applications.

Replacing Your Current 2-Pin CFL?

• Base type — confirm 2-pin vs 4-pin: This lamp has a G24d-1 2-Pin 2-pin base. 2-pin and 4-pin lamps are not electrically or physically interchangeable even at identical wattages. Check your fixture socket.
• 2-pin base (G24d-1 2-Pin) — not interchangeable with 4-pin: This lamp uses a G24d-1 2-Pin 2-pin base. It is NOT interchangeable with 4-pin G24q or GX24q base lamps even if the same wattage and CCT. Verify your fixture's base type before ordering.
• Ballast compatibility: Requires a compatible external preheat magnetic ballast with integral starter. Verify your ballast is rated for this exact wattage and base type. Electronic ballasts may not be compatible with this 2-pin design.
• Wattage — 10W: Confirm your ballast and fixture are rated for 10W.
• Dimmable — No: This lamp is non-dimmable. Do not install on a dimmer circuit.
• Do not use with incompatible ballasts: Lamp performance and life are significantly affected by ballast type. Use only compatible ballasts as specified by the lamp manufacturer.
