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 — 13W: Confirm your ballast and fixture are rated for 13W.
- 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.
