The triple turn (or triple tube) design maximizes light output within a smaller physical envelope, making it an excellent choice for space-constrained luminaires where traditional tubes cannot fit. Operating with a compatible magnetic or electronic ballast (depending on fixture design), it delivers a crisp cool white illumination at 4000K (840), providing balanced, neutral light suitable for a variety of commercial and residential applications.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEngineered with a 2-pin GX24 base, this lamp is commonly used in downlights, recessed fixtures, and commercial lighting systems where reliable performance and easy installation are key. With an average rated life of approximately 10,000 hours, it offers extended service life that reduces maintenance frequency and replacement costs. The non-dimmable operation ensures stable, flicker-free performance, making it a dependable choice for offices, retail environments, hospitality settings, and residential areas where consistent, energy-efficient lighting is required.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompact Triple Turn Design\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Triple tube configuration delivers efficient light output in a space-saving form factor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnergy-Efficient Operation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Consumes only 18 watts, providing significant energy savings compared to traditional lighting alternatives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExtended Service Life\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Rated for approximately 10,000 hours of average use, minimizing lamp replacement frequency.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeutral Cool White Light\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Provides 4000K (840) color temperature, offering balanced illumination suitable for task-oriented and general lighting applications.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2-Pin GX24 Base\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Designed for fixtures requiring a 2-pin GX24 connection, typically used with magnetic or electronic ballasts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ds-scroll-area ds-scroll-area--show-on-focus-within _1210dd7 c03cafe9\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ds-scroll-area__gutters\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ds-scroll-area__horizontal-gutter\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ds-scroll-area__vertical-gutter\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecification\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWattage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e18W\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBase Type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGX24 (2 Pin)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLamp Type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTriple Turn Compact Fluorescent (Low Energy)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColor Temperature\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4000K (Cool White \/ 840)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimmability\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNon-dimmable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAverage Rated Life\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApprox. 10,000 hours\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.
