HALCO 109150 | CF13DD/841 GX23-2 13W Double Tube 2-Pin Compact Fluorescent Lamp

The Halco 109150 (CF13DD/841) is a commercial-grade, energy-efficient **13W plug-in compact fluorescent lamp (CFL)** engineered for low-profile downlights, architectural corridor sconces, task lighting, and indoor/outdoor security fixtures. Outfitted with a standard **GX23-2 2-pin base** and a durable double-tube **T4 configuration**, this versatile bulb emits a crisp, alert **4100K Cool White** light. Utilizing a high-performance tri-phosphor coating to achieve an **82 CRI** color accuracy rating, it delivers **900 initial lumens** over an extended **12,000-hour average service lifespan**. Built with lead-free glass and fully **TCLP and RoHS compliant**, this universal-burn lamp is optimized exclusively for magnetic ballast configurations across residential and commercial property setups.

Tri-Phosphor Coating Efficacy and Universal Magnetic Operation

Halco Lighting Technologies' plug-in double-tube lamps are engineered to maximize lumen maintenance and visibility while reducing total fixture profile boundaries. This 2-pin module incorporates an advanced internal **tri-phosphor coating** that minimizes lumen depreciation and sharpens color accuracy compared to standard halophosphor bulbs. Formulated for high structural compatibility, this module runs natively on traditional **120V magnetic ballast systems** operating at a 60Hz input frequency. Additionally, its robust construction supports smooth **dimming functionality** when connected to compatible dimmable magnetic ballast setups, giving you complete architectural light level control.

• Universal Burning Orientation: Engineered to operate reliably in any physical position—horizontal, vertical, or angled—without sacrificing lumen maintenance or thermal stability.
• Eco-Conscious Glass Engineering: Crafted with 100% lead-free glass and fully verified to pass Federal Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (**TCLP**) metrics for non-hazardous waste classification.
• Open or Enclosed Rated: Safely approved for use in both open-air accent frames and fully enclosed, sealed outdoor security housings.
• Flexible Wholesale Packaging: Available in convenient inner pack sizes of 1, sold in standard ordering multiples of 6, and managed in 50-piece master shipping containers.

System Integration, Wiring Restrictions & Handling Guidelines

• Ballast Matching Protocol: This 2-pin plug-in CFL contains an internal starter mechanism within its plastic base housing. It is **exclusively compatible with magnetic ballasts**. Do not attempt to install or wire this module into electronic high-frequency ballast circuits, as this will lead to immediate electronic mismatching, system humming, or premature filament failure.
• Dimming Infrastructure: While this bulb is rated as dimmable, smooth illumination control depends entirely on your primary ballast system; confirm your magnetic ballast model is explicitly rated for 13W CFL dimming loops prior to configuration.
• Disposal and Environmental Compliance: Halco lead-free and tri-phosphor formulations clear strict RoHS and Federal TCLP guidelines. Because institutional commercial recycling regulations vary by county and state, check local commercial waste handling procedures to ensure compliance.

Recommended Commercial & Residential Applications

• Commercial Wall Sconces: Perfect for producing clear, uniform path illumination in commercial office hallways, hospitality reception areas, and apartment corridors.
• Recessed Downlighting: Ideal for shallow, space-constrained ceiling downlights inside institutional common areas, lobbies, and public utility restrooms.
• Task and Workstation Lighting: Provides crisp, glare-free 4100K cool white light over under-cabinet fixtures, retail customer service stations, and storage areas.
• Outdoor Security Fixtures: Well-suited for building perimeters, entryways, and public parking canopies when housed inside open or enclosed exterior security wall packs.
