Key Features and Benefits of This CFL Lamp

This lamp delivers 780 lumens at a 4100K cool white color temperature, suiting task areas that benefit from crisper light than warm white options. Its Energy Star rating signals efficient energy use compared to incandescent alternatives. A rated life of 10,000 hours reduces how often the lamp needs replacing.

Where to Use the PL13W-2U-2P-841 CFL Lamp

This lamp suits fixtures built for GX23-2 double-twin CFL lamps, common in downlights, wall sconces, and some troffer-style fixtures in offices, retail spaces, and homes. It operates on standard 120V circuits. It is not compatible with fixtures designed for other CFL pin configurations or LED-specific sockets.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

Confirm the existing fixture accepts a GX23-2 2-pin base before purchasing this lamp, since pin configuration is not interchangeable with other CFL bases. Check the fixture's rated wattage matches or exceeds 13W. Verify the fixture's ballast, if applicable, is compatible with double-twin CFL lamps of this type.

Additional Buying Context

This lamp is a straightforward replacement for existing GX23-2 double-twin CFL fixtures reaching end of life, without needing to replace the fixture itself. Its 10,000-hour rated life and Energy Star rating make it a practical stock item for facilities managing multiple fixtures. Confirm current pricing and availability with Lumenco before bulk ordering.
