Description
The Energizer 6W LED PLT bulb uses a GX24d 2-pin base and delivers 840 lumens of 4000K cool white light, replacing 18W compact fluorescent lamps in downlights, bulkheads and ceiling-mounted fittings. The PLS form factor matches the twin-tube shape of traditional PLT CFLs, allowing direct retrofit into existing GX24d sockets without ballast modification.
Designed for commercial and residential applications where crisp, neutral light is needed, the 4000K colour temperature suits utility areas, corridors, stairwells, offices and communal spaces. The LED starts instantly at full output with no warm-up delay or flicker, and the 840 lumen output provides functional illumination over desks, worktops and circulation routes.
The 6W power draw reduces running costs compared to 18W CFLs while maintaining equivalent light output. Rated Energy Class D under current EU guidelines, the bulb operates on standard 230V mains and fits the same footprint as the fluorescent lamp it replaces, making it a straightforward upgrade for property managers, commercial fit-outs and home renovators replacing older compact fluorescent installations.

Frequently Asked
Does this bulb work in existing PLT fittings?
Yes. The GX24d 2-pin base is a direct fit for standard PLT downlights and ceiling fittings originally designed for compact fluorescent lamps. No rewiring or ballast changes are needed for most fittings, though some older magnetic ballast units may require bypass.
Is the bulb dimmable?
No. This is a non-dimmable LED and should only be used on standard on/off switches. Connecting it to a dimmer circuit may cause flicker or damage to the bulb.
What colour is the 4000K light?
4000K is a neutral cool white, brighter and crisper than warm white (2700K-3000K) but not as stark as daylight white (5000K+). It suits task-focused spaces like offices, corridors and utility rooms rather than living areas.
What is the lifespan of this bulb?
Energizer rates this bulb with a 30-year lifespan based on average domestic use. Actual lifespan varies with daily runtime and operating conditions, but LED PLT bulbs typically outlast CFLs by a factor of 3-5 times.
