  • 810 lm output at 3500 K gives neutral white light
  • 10 000 hour rated life reduces replacement frequency
  • CRI 82 provides acceptable colour rendering for general tasks
  • 2-pin GX23-2 base fits compatible plug-in fixtures

Ideal for compact fluorescent fixtures

The GE F13DBX23/835/ECO is a 13 W plug-in CFL bulb that delivers 810 lumens at a 3500 K colour temperature. It replaces a 60 W incandescent equivalent and offers a colour rendering index of 82 for accurate colour representation. The frosted T4 glass and metal housing provide a diffused white light suitable for general indoor lighting applications. Rated life is 10,000 hours.

Verify ballast and base compatibility first

This lamp requires a GX23-2 two-pin base and operates on a ballast-dependent voltage, so it must be paired with a compatible magnetic or electronic ballast in the fixture. It is not dimmable and cannot be used with dimming circuits or three-way sockets. The frosted finish and non-shatter-resistant construction should be considered for the intended installation environment.

Suits general indoor lighting needs

This bulb suits users seeking an energy-efficient fluorescent replacement for compatible plug-in fixtures in offices, retail or residential spaces. It is not for buyers who need dimmable operation, shatter-resistant construction, rough-service durability or a different colour temperature. Those requiring LED technology or alternative base types should consider other options.

Questions about this item

Does the GE F13DBX23/835/ECO include a ballast or must one be purchased separately?

The bulb operates on a ballast-dependent voltage, so a compatible external ballast is required and is not included in the box.

How do I decide between the 13 W 810 lm version and a higher-wattage alternative?

Choose this 13 W model when you need a 60 W incandescent equivalent with 810 lumens at 3500 K; higher-wattage versions would deliver more light but consume more power.

What does the 810 lumen rating mean for actual brightness in a standard fixture?

In a compatible GX23-2 fixture with the correct ballast, the bulb produces 810 lumens of 3500 K white light, roughly matching a traditional 60 W incandescent.
