Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The GE 41869 F55BX/STUDIOBIAX32 is a studio-grade T5 Biax compact fluorescent lamp engineered for professional lighting applications requiring a 3200K tungsten-balanced color temperature. The 3200K output matches the color temperature of tungsten incandescent sources — making this lamp suitable for studio, cinema, and photographic environments where consistent, warm color balance is required alongside the energy efficiency and long life of a fluorescent source.

This lamp replaces discontinued Cinema Biax SKUs (F55BX/STUDIOBX32) and is rated as a 200-watt incandescent equivalent. The 2G11 4-pin base is designed for dedicated CFL fixtures, table lamps, floor lamps, and enclosed fixtures — confirm your fixture uses a 2G11 socket before ordering. This lamp requires a compatible electronic ballast rated for 55W 2G11 operation.
