26W Triple-Tube Fluorescent for Electronic Ballasts

The Ushio CF26TE/830 is a 26 watt compact fluorescent bulb built for fixtures that run electronic ballasts. It delivers 1800 lumens at a warm 3000K colour temperature with a CRI of 82. The lamp is rated for 10000 hours of operation and supports dimming when paired with a compatible dimming ballast. It suits commercial or residential spaces needing efficient, warm general lighting.

Four-Pin Base Limits Use to Compatible Fixtures

The 4-pin base requires a matching socket and an electronic ballast designed for 26 watt triple-tube lamps. Magnetic ballasts or 2-pin sockets will not operate this bulb. Dimming performance depends entirely on the ballast's dimming curve and the dimmer type; not all electronic ballasts offer smooth dimming down to low levels. Buyers must verify that their existing fixture accepts a 4-pin 26W lamp before purchasing.

Replaces Same-Wattage Triple-Tube CFLs

This lamp serves as a direct replacement for any 26 watt triple-tube compact fluorescent with an identical 4-pin base and 3000K output. The upgrade is worthwhile when the existing lamp has reached its rated life or when a dimmable ballast has been installed and the old lamp was non-dimmable. It does not suit fixtures wired for linear tubes, 2-pin CFLs, or LED retrofit kits that bypass the ballast.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 26 W 1800 lm version or a lower wattage compact fluorescent?

Choose the 26 W model when you need 1800 lumens at 3000 K; lower wattage bulbs produce less light and may not suit the same fixtures.

What does the 1800 lumen rating deliver in a real fitting?

It provides 1800 lumens of 3000 K warm-white light with a CRI of 82, suitable for general indoor lighting where accurate colour rendering matters.

Will the 4-pin base work with my electronic dimmable ballast?

Yes, the 4-pin base is designed for electronic ballasts that support dimming, allowing smooth light-level control when paired with a compatible dimmable ballast.
