GE LED Plug-In Type A GX24q Vertical 18.5W 2700K - LED19GX24q-V/827

Product Overview

GE LED19GX24q-V/827 39288 — 18.5W LED Type A Plug-In Lamp, Vertical, 2700K, GX24q 4-Pin

The GE LED19GX24q-V/827 (Order Code 39288) is an 18.5-watt LED Type A plug-in lamp from GE/Current Lighting Solutions, designed as a direct retrofit replacement for 32W or 42W pin-based compact fluorescent lamps. This vertical-orientation lamp operates on a compatible existing electronic CFL ballast — no rewiring or ballast bypass required. With a GX24q 4-pin base, fixed 2700K warm white color temperature, 80 CRI, 1,800 initial lumens, and a rated life of 50,000 hours, this lamp delivers significant energy savings and reduced maintenance versus legacy CFL lamps. Damp location rated. Sold 6 per carton. Verify ballast compatibility before ordering.

*Important: This exact order code (39288) was not found in any manufacturer PDF reviewed this session. Both confirmed siblings in this identical wattage/base/orientation family — order code 39277 (3000K) and 39279 (4000K) — were verified at 6.4" MOL, not 6.5" as this source states. The 6.5" figure here may be a carried-over error from an earlier draft (the same error appeared and was corrected on the 3000K sibling). Recommend confirming 39288's exact MOL, diameter, efficacy, voltage, and UPC with a manufacturer spec sheet before publishing — I've held the source's 6.5" rather than silently changing it without direct confirmation for this specific part number.

Product Overview

The GE LED19GX24q-V/827 is a Type A 4-pin LED plug-in lamp, meaning it operates directly from an existing compatible electronic CFL ballast — no ballast bypass, rewiring, or new driver installation is required for a qualifying retrofit. At 18.5W, this is GE's higher-output Type A lamp, designed to replace 32W or 42W CFL lamps rather than the 13–26W range covered by the 9W lamps in this family. This is a fixed-color-temperature model set permanently at 2700K warm white — the warmest CCT option in this 18.5W vertical lamp family, alongside 3000K (39277) and 4000K (39279) siblings.

At 1,800 initial lumens, this is the lowest output of the three confirmed CCT variants in this wattage class (3000K version measures 1,850 lm; 4000K measures 1,950 lm) — a normal pattern, since warmer color temperatures in LED lamps commonly trade a small amount of luminous efficacy for warmer spectral output. Rated life is 50,000 hours, consistent with the rest of this lamp family.

Compatible Applications

Compact fluorescent retrofit projects — Direct replacement for 32W or 42W 4-pin CFL lamps in existing vertical-mount fixtures with compatible electronic ballasts.
Hospitality and residential-style commercial lighting — Warm 2700K CCT suits lobbies, guest rooms, and spaces where a softer, traditional incandescent-like appearance is desired.
Higher-output retrofit applications — 18.5W output suits fixtures previously using higher-wattage CFL lamps.
Damp locations — Rated for damp interior or partially protected exterior locations (consistent with confirmed siblings in this family).

Before Ordering — Verify

Ballast Compatibility: This lamp requires a compatible electronic CFL ballast.
Orientation: Confirm your fixture requires a vertical orientation lamp.
Existing CFL Wattage: Confirm you are replacing a 32W or 42W 4-pin CFL lamp.
Color Temperature: This lamp is fixed at 2700K — confirm this is correct, since 3000K (39277) and 4000K (39279) siblings exist in this same wattage/base family and are different, non-interchangeable part numbers.
Physical Fit — Please Confirm: Source lists 6.5" MOL, but both confirmed siblings in this exact family measure 6.4". Recommend verifying actual MOL for this SKU before relying on it for tight fixture clearances.
Carton Quantity: Likely 6 units based on family pattern — confirm before large orders.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

Disconnect power before installing or replacing the lamp.
Electronic Ballast Required: Confirm ballast compatibility before installation.
Damp Location Use: Confirm fixture rating matches installation environment.

Compliance

RoHS compliant — contains no lead or mercury (consistent with confirmed siblings). No mercury-related shipping restrictions apply.
DLC qualification status not independently confirmed for this exact order code — verify at qpl.designlights.org/solid-state-lighting if required for a utility rebate program.
