Product Identity
The Philips PL-L 18W compact fluorescent bulb delivers 1200 lumens at a 3500K colour temperature with an 82 CRI. It fits fixtures that accept a 2G11 four-pin base and measures 8.92 inches in overall length with a 1.53-inch diameter. The lamp is rated for 10000 hours of life and contains mercury.
Deciding Specification
The 2G11 four-pin base is the single detail that determines whether this lamp will install in your luminaire; fixtures with two-pin or other plug-in sockets will not accept it.
Who This Suits
This bulb suits maintenance teams relamping commercial display, hospitality, office, restaurant or warehouse fixtures that already use the PL-L 18W 3500K format.
