Description
The Energizer 6W LED PLD is a 2-pin plug-in bulb with a G24d base, designed to retrofit existing compact fluorescent fittings without rewiring. The bulb delivers 835 lumens at 4000K cool white, producing crisp neutral light suited to task and ambient applications where colour accuracy matters more than warmth. The PLD tube format matches the footprint of older 18W CFL equivalents, allowing direct replacement in downlights, wall lights and desk lamps built around G24d sockets.
Designed for offices, utility rooms, communal corridors and retail back-of-house areas, the bulb provides instant full brightness with no warm-up delay typical of fluorescent technology. The non-dimmable LED driver ensures stable output on conventional control gear and avoids compatibility issues with older ballasts. The G24d 2-pin base is polarised, so the bulb only fits one way into the socket, preventing installation errors.
The 6W draw represents a 67% energy reduction compared to the 18W CFL it replaces, whilst the 835lm output maintains comparable brightness. The LED construction runs cooler than fluorescent tubes, reducing heat stress on enclosed fittings and extending the service life of surrounding components. The bulb carries an energy rating of D under the revised 2021 EU labelling regulations, reflecting its efficiency relative to current LED standards rather than older technologies.

Frequently Asked
Will this fit my existing CFL downlight?
If your current fitting uses a G24d 2-pin base, yes. The PLD tube format matches the physical dimensions of 18W compact fluorescent equivalents. Check the base type on your existing bulb before ordering — G24d has two pins and a notch that prevents incorrect insertion.
Is the bulb compatible with dimmer switches?
No. This is a non-dimmable LED bulb designed for use on conventional switched circuits only. Installing it on a dimmer circuit may cause flicker, reduced lifespan or failure to operate.
What colour is 4000K cool white?
4000K is a neutral white with a slight cool cast, closer to daylight than the warm yellowish tone of 2700K-3000K bulbs. It suits offices, workshops and utility areas where task visibility and colour rendering are priorities over creating a warm domestic atmosphere.
How much energy does this save compared to a CFL?
This 6W LED replaces an 18W CFL, using 67% less energy for comparable light output. Over 10,000 hours of use, that represents a saving of approximately 120kWh per bulb.
