SYLVANIA 20329 | CF9DS/827/ECO Dulux® S 9W 2700K 2-Pin Plug-In Compact Fluorescent Lamp

The Sylvania 20301 (CF9DS/827/ECO) is a commercial-grade **9W compact fluorescent single twin-tube replacement lamp** from the high-efficiency Dulux® S and Ecologic® product families. Engineered for traditional plug-and-play architectural hardware, this **T4 sub-compact bulb** features a standard **G23 2-pin base** equipped with a built-in internal glow-switch starter. Delivering **600 initial lumens** of soft, welcoming **2775K/2700K Warm White (827)** illumination with an **82 CRI** color rendering accuracy, it runs seamlessly on dedicated **ANSI C78.901** magnetic ballast circuits. With an extended **10,000-hour average rated life** and full TCLP environmental safety compliance, this lamp serves as a foundational energy-saving upgrade over traditional incandescent modules.

Integrated Starter Design and Sustainable Building Advantages

Sylvania Dulux® S plug-in lamps are optimized to minimize structural operating costs while maintaining comfortable ambient brightness levels. The structural base of the **G23 configuration** contains an integrated, interference-suppressed radio glow starter and condensation capacitor, allowing the lamp to strike smoothly and flicker-free on simple line-frequency magnetic chokes. As an official **Ecologic®** branded product, this single twin-tube lamp passes strict Federal TCLP (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure) testing benchmarks. This ensures a low mercury formulation that minimizes total greenhouse emissions over its lifetime, helping commercial facilities meet strict environmental corporate building mandates.

• Substantial System Efficacy: Yields a high operational efficiency profile, drawing significantly less electricity than a standard incandescent lamp while delivering equivalent ambient luminaire output.
• High-Retention Phosphor Base: Delivers **580 mean lumens** over its lifecycle, ensuring stable light levels without the rapid lumen depreciation or color fading common to budget-grade plug-in bulbs.
• Universal Burn Position: Formulated to ignite stably in any physical orientation (horizontal, base-up, or base-down) without compromising lifespan, striking time, or mercury-vapor distribution.
• Universal Cross-Brand Matching: Direct drop-in premium replacement for major industry components, including Philips PL-S 9W/827/2P/ALTO and GE F9BX/827/ECO.

System Installation & Ballast Safety Guidelines

• Magnetic Ballast Compatibility: This 2-pin CFL variant is designed strictly for operation on compatible magnetic ballasts or low-frequency control circuits. Attempting to install this module into a fixture wired for high-frequency 4-pin electronic lines will fail to strike or permanently compromise the internal starter.
• Replacement Requirements: Ensure power lines are cut at the breaker panel and allowed to cool completely prior to insertion. Firmly press the G23 base into the socket channel until the retention springs catch for a secure, grounded fit.
