Product identity
The Sylvania 18 W quad-tube fluorescent bulb delivers 1250 lumens at a 4100 K colour temperature with a CRI of 82. It fits G24Q-2 four-pin sockets and is rated for 12 000 hours of operation. The lamp suits commercial recessed fixtures, task lighting and retail displays that need cool-white output.
Installation notes
The 5.8 inch quad-tube plugs directly into compatible electronic or dimming ballasts without tools. Ensure the ballast matches the G24Q-2 base and 18 W rating; mismatched gear causes flicker, reduced life or failure to start. Verify fixture clearance for the tube length before fitting.
Sustained operation
Light output remains stable during continuous use when paired with a correct electronic ballast. The 12 000 hour rating assumes proper thermal management in the fixture; enclosed housings without ventilation can shorten lifespan. Dimming ballasts maintain colour consistency across the dimming range.
