Six-bulb pack for 42 W GX24q-4 fixtures

This case contains six 42-watt compact fluorescent lamps built for GX24q-4 four-pin sockets. Each bulb delivers 3200 lumens at a 3500 K neutral white colour temperature with an 82 CRI. The lamps are rated for 15 years of service at three hours per day and operate on 120 V supplies. They fit enclosed indoor and outdoor plug-in CFL fixtures.

Suits commercial and residential retrofits needing

Installers replacing existing 42 W CFLs in recessed cans, wall packs or ceiling modules will find a direct match. Buyers who need dimmable operation, instant full brightness in freezing temperatures, or a different colour temperature should consider other lamp types. The GX24q-4 base prevents use in two-pin or G24q-3 sockets.

42 W power draw with 3200 lumen output

The single figure that decides fit is the 42-watt consumption paired with 3200 lumens. Fixtures and ballasts rated for this wattage will run the lamps at full output and rated life. Using the bulbs in sockets designed for lower or higher wattage will cause poor performance or damage.

Questions about this item

Should I buy the single bulb or the 6-pack for a multi-fixture project?

The product is sold as a case of 6 bulbs, so one purchase equips six sockets at once.

How bright will 3200 lumens actually look in a typical office troffer?

At 3200 lumens each, a single 42 W lamp delivers strong neutral-white output suitable for commercial troffers or high-bay fixtures.

Will the GX24q-4 base work in my existing 4-pin ballast and what does it limit?

The 4-pin GX24q-4 base fits matching electronic ballasts and caps the lamp at 42 W and 120 V operation.
