Description

This is a G23 two pin LED bulb in the PLS shape, built to drop into a fitting that currently takes a small compact fluorescent tube. It draws 5W, and the retail pack gives 700 lumens at 4000K cool white along with an 11W replacement figure. The twin tube rises from a moulded white base with two flat pins at the foot, and that base is the part to match before you order: a G23 cap has two pins and a keyed body, so it will not seat in a four pin socket.

Two pin G23 lamps show up in desk and reading lamps, bedside fittings, under cupboard strips, display cabinets and small wall lights on hallways and landings, as well as workshop and garage task lamps where an old PL tube has dimmed with age. At 4000K the light reads neutral and crisp rather than yellow, which suits reading, close work and food preparation. It is worth thinking about the rest of the room first: next to 2700K warm white lamps a 4000K bulb will look noticeably cooler, so most people either run it on its own in a work area or change the neighbouring lamps to match.

The pack marks the lamp non-dimmable, so keep it on a plain on/off switch; a non-dimmable LED on a dimmer circuit tends to flicker or hum and rarely lasts. The energy rating is D, and Energizer prints a 30 year lifespan on the pack. No IP rating is given by the manufacturer, so plan on a dry indoor fitting. Each listing is one boxed bulb, and the minimum order is 10, sold in multiples of 10, which makes sense where several fittings run the same tube and you want spares on the shelf.

Frequently Asked

Which fitting does this bulb go into?

It takes a G23 two pin socket, the cap used by small compact fluorescent PL tubes. Check the base of the old tube: two flat pins in a keyed white body means G23, while four pins means G24 and will not accept this lamp.

Can I use it with a dimmer switch?

No. The pack marks this lamp non-dimmable, so it belongs on a plain on/off switch. On a dimmer circuit a non-dimmable LED can flicker, buzz or fail early, so either change the switch or choose a dimmable lamp.

What does 4000K cool white actually look like?

4000K sits between warm white at around 2700K and daylight at around 6500K. It is a neutral, slightly crisp white with no yellow cast, the kind of light most people prefer over a desk, a workbench or a worktop rather than in a sitting room.

How bright is 5W, and what does it replace?

The pack gives 700 lumens and prints an 11W replacement figure, so it is intended as a straight swap for a small 11W PL tube while drawing 5W at the socket.

Will it work with the control gear already in my fitting?

The manufacturer does not state whether the lamp runs on existing control gear, so if your fitting has a starter or a magnetic ballast, check with your electrician before ordering a batch.

Is an IP rating given for this lamp?

No. The manufacturer does not state an IP rating, so treat it as a lamp for dry indoor fittings and keep it out of damp or exposed positions.
