Whether you are replacing burned-out bulbs in an office, hotel, retail space, residential hallway, or waiting room, this 4-pin CFL delivers consistent 3500K neutral white light that works across both commercial and residential environments. COMPATIBILITY AND INSTALLATION This bulb is designed to fit any fixture with a G24q-1 4-pin base (also referenced as GX24q-1). It is a plug-in ballast-dependent lamp - it requires a compatible 4-pin electronic or magnetic ballast already installed in the fixture. It is NOT compatible with 2-pin bases (GX23, GX23-2) or screw-in (E26\/E27) sockets. Always verify your fixture's existing base type and pin count before ordering. Cross-reference replacement models: Philips: 38327-3 \/ PL-C 13W\/835\/4P\/ALTO GE: 97596 \/ F13DBX\/835\/ECO4P Sylvania: 20671 \/ CF13DD\/E\/835 Plusrite: CFQ13W\/G24q\/835 GCP 099 LIGHT QUALITY The 835 designation means 3500K color temperature - a neutral white tone that sits between warm (soft white) and cool (bright white). This color range is widely preferred in offices, schools, retail spaces, and healthcare environments for its balanced, comfortable appearance. With an 82 CRI (Color Rendering Index), this bulb renders colors accurately enough for most task, display, and occupancy lighting applications. LIFESPAN AND EFFICIENCY Each bulb is rated for 12,000 hours of average life. For commercial environments with extended daily operating hours, this translates to fewer relamp cycles and reduced maintenance labor. The 13-watt power consumption makes this an efficient compact fluorescent option for multi-fixture installations where managing electricity costs matters.
