Description
This is a 4.5W LED PLD lamp on a G24d two pin cap, giving 660 lumens at 4000K. Two frosted white tubes rise from a squat white base, the same shape as the compact fluorescent PLD lamp it is built to replace, so it sits in the lampholder you already have. The retail pack rates it as a 13W replacement and the specification carries a D energy rating. Cool white at 4000K is a neutral, slightly crisp light, the sort used in offices, workshops and communal stairwells rather than the softer yellow of a living room lamp.
G24d lampholders turn up in recessed downlights, flush ceiling pots, wall fittings and bulkheads across offices, corridors, garages and utility rooms, usually in buildings fitted out when compact fluorescent was the standard choice. Before you order, count the pins on the lamp you are taking out: G24d carries two, G24q carries four, and the two caps are not interchangeable. Energizer does not state whether this lamp runs on existing control gear or needs the ballast bypassed, so if the fitting is not yours to open, ask your electrician before committing to a quantity.
The specification records this lamp as non dimmable, so keep it on plain on and off switching rather than any dimmer or trailing edge control. The pack prints a 30 year lifespan, and that is the manufacturer's own figure quoted as printed. Each box holds one lamp, and the listing is sold in multiples of ten, so the smallest order is ten lamps, which suits a planned re-lamp rather than a one off swap. Alongside it we stock LED PLL lamps on the 2G11 cap from 8W up to 24W, and LED PLS lamps on the 2G7 cap at 4.5W and 5W, all in the same 4000K cool white.

Frequently Asked
Will this fit a four pin G24q lampholder?
No. This lamp has the two pin G24d cap, and a G24q holder is keyed for four pins. Count the pins on the lamp you are removing before you order, because the two caps will not cross over.
How does 660 lumens compare with the compact fluorescent lamp I am taking out?
The retail pack rates this 4.5W lamp as a 13W replacement, so it is aimed at the 13W PLD tube. Output on the pack is quoted as 660 lumens measured in a sphere, which is total light in all directions.
Can I run it on a dimmer?
No. The specification lists it as non dimmable and the pack carries the non dimmable mark, so it needs a plain switched circuit rather than any leading or trailing edge dimmer.
What does 4000K cool white actually look like?
It is a neutral white with a slight blue lean, brighter and cleaner looking than 2700K warm white. It reads well over work surfaces, stores, stairwells and corridors where you want detail rather than cosiness.
Is an IP rating given for this lamp?
No. Energizer states no IP rating in the specification and prints none on the retail pack, so we quote none. Treat it as a lamp with no stated protection against dust or moisture.
How many lamps do I receive?
One lamp per box. The listing carries a minimum order of ten, sold in multiples of ten, so the smallest purchase is ten individually boxed lamps.
