Product Overview
The GE 97613 F26DBX/841/ECO4P is a 26W 4100K Cool White 4-Pin Double Biax® plug-in CFL rated at 1,800 initial lumens and 1,530 mean lumens, with a CRI of 82 and a rated average life of 17,000 hours (20,000 hours at 12 hrs). It uses a G24q-3 4-pin base and is a plug-in lamp, so it must be operated on a compatible external 4-pin CFL ballast. Dimming operation is not listed in the GE catalog; do not install on a dimmer circuit unless the ballast manufacturer specifies compatibility.
GE catalog notes for this lamp: Fluorescent lamp lumens decline during life. Based on 60Hz reference circuit. 4-Pin lamp minimum starting temperature is a function of the ballast. Most ballasts are rated with a minimum starting temperature of 50°F (10°C). Ballasts are also available that provide reliable starting to 0°F (-18°C) and -20°F (-29°C). Max. bulb wall temperature not to exceed 180°C. Consult GE sales representative for further information. Life ratings are based on operating the lamp on a high frequency electronic rapid start type ballast. GE caution notice 151: CAUTION – Lamp may shatter and cause injury if broken. Remove and install by grasping only the plastic portion of the lamp.
