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.
