Description
The Energizer 4.5W LED PLS/E is a direct retrofit LED replacement for compact fluorescent PL-S lamps, fitting any luminaire with a 2G7 4-pin base. The bulb delivers 580 lumens at 4000K cool white, matching the colour temperature of typical office and commercial fluorescent lighting. The 4.5W power draw replaces older 9W or 11W fluorescent tubes with a roughly 50% energy reduction while maintaining similar light output.
Designed for commercial and public sector installations, the bulb suits enclosed downlights, wall-mounted emergency lighting housings, and slimline recessed panels commonly found in corridors, stairwells, retail changing rooms, and reception areas. The non-dimmable LED driver provides instant-on operation without warm-up time, and the rated 30-year lifespan (based on typical usage patterns stated on the packaging) reduces the frequency of lamp replacement in hard-to-reach fittings.
The PLS/E form factor is a twin-tube compact design approximately 130mm in overall length, allowing it to fit the same footprint as the fluorescent it replaces. The 2G7 base has four pins in a single row, so orientation during installation is fixed by the socket design. The bulb carries an E energy rating under current UK regulations and is not dimmable — attempting to use it on a dimming circuit will cause flicker or damage.

Frequently Asked
What fluorescent wattage does this replace?
The 4.5W LED PLS/E typically replaces 9W or 11W compact fluorescent PL-S lamps in the same 2G7 base format, delivering comparable light output (580lm) at roughly half the power draw.
Is the 2G7 base the same as G23 or 2G11?
No. The 2G7 base has four pins in a single row and is physically incompatible with G23 (2-pin) or 2G11 (4-pin twin-row) bases. Check your existing fitting before ordering to confirm the base type.
Can this be used in emergency lighting fittings?
Many emergency lighting fittings use 2G7 PL-S lamps, and this LED retrofit can replace them. However, you must confirm that the emergency driver in the luminaire is compatible with LED loads — some older emergency drivers are designed only for fluorescent lamps and may not function correctly with LEDs.
What does 4000K cool white look like?
4000K is a neutral cool white commonly used in commercial and office settings. It appears whiter and slightly blue-toned compared to warm white (2700K-3000K) household bulbs, providing higher visual clarity for task-focused environments.
