Description
The Energizer 6W LED PLD is a plug-in lamp with a G24q 4-pin base, delivering 835 lumens at 4000K cool white. The compact PLD form factor slots directly into commercial downlights, ceiling recesses, wall uplighters and bulkhead fittings originally designed for compact fluorescent lamps, replacing 18W CFL tubes with a 6W LED equivalent.
Designed for commercial and residential spaces needing task-level illumination, the bulb suits utility rooms, office corridors, stairwells, bathrooms and entrance halls where a neutral, daylight-balanced light tone is preferred over warm white. The G24q base fits standard 4-pin sockets without rewiring or adapter plates, and the bulb starts at full brightness instantly without the warm-up delay of fluorescent tubes.
The non-dimmable LED driver provides stable output on standard mains circuits and avoids the flicker associated with ageing fluorescent ballasts. Energy rating D under the 2021 EU regs reflects the efficiency gain over older CFL technology, reducing both electricity consumption and the frequency of lamp replacements in high-use installations. The compact PLD housing measures approximately 140mm in length and fits into shallow ceiling voids where longer tubes would not.

Frequently Asked
What does the G24q base fit?
The G24q is a 4-pin plug-in base used in commercial downlights, ceiling recesses, wall uplighters and bulkhead fittings. The bulb slots into a socket originally designed for compact fluorescent lamps without needing rewiring or adapter plates.
What wattage CFL does this replace?
This 6W LED replaces 18W compact fluorescent lamps. The 835 lumen output matches or exceeds typical 18W CFL brightness while consuming one-third of the power.
Is 4000K suitable for homes?
4000K cool white gives a neutral, daylight-balanced tone that works well in task-focused spaces like utility rooms, bathrooms, kitchens and home offices. For living rooms and bedrooms, warmer colour temperatures between 2700K and 3000K are generally preferred.
Can this bulb be used with a dimmer switch?
No. This is a non-dimmable bulb and should only be used on standard on/off switching circuits. Installing it on a dimmer circuit may cause flicker, reduced lifespan, or damage to the LED driver.
