Designed for commercial and residential lighting fixtures that require a compact, high-output solution, this 7-watt 2G7 4-pin low energy tube delivers a crisp cool white illumination at 4000K. Engineered to fit specific ballast-compatible fittings, it offers a practical balance of energy efficiency and long-lasting performance, making it a reliable replacement for various task lighting, under-cabinet, or display applications. With a rated average life of approximately 10,000 hours, this lamp reduces the frequency of replacements, contributing to lower maintenance costs over time.
The tube’s compact dimensions (118mm length and 37mm width) allow it to integrate seamlessly into space-constrained luminaires where standard bulbs cannot fit. Its non-dimmable operation ensures stable, flicker-free light output suitable for environments requiring consistent brightness. The 4000K cool white color temperature (also referenced as 840) provides a neutral, vibrant light that enhances visibility and reduces eye strain, making it ideal for workshops, kitchens, offices, and retail settings where clarity is key.
Energy-Efficient Operation: Consumes only 7 watts, providing significant energy savings compared to traditional lighting alternatives.
Long Service Life: Rated for approximately 10,000 hours of average use, minimizing maintenance and replacement frequency.
Cool White Light Output: Delivers a neutral 4000K (840) color temperature, ideal for task-oriented and commercial spaces.
Compact Form Factor: Small dimensions (118mm x 37mm) allow for use in slimline and space-restricted fixtures.
4-Pin 2G7 Base: Designed for compatibility with electronic ballast-based luminaires requiring a 4-pin connection.

1. What type of ballast is required for this 2G7 4-pin tube?
This lamp is designed to operate with an electronic ballast that is compatible with a 4-pin 2G7 base configuration. It is not suitable for magnetic ballasts or direct mains voltage connection.
2. Is this lamp dimmable?
No, this 7w 2G7 tube is non-dimmable. Using it with a dimmer switch may cause poor performance, flickering, or damage to the lamp and fixture.
3. What is the difference between 2G7 and G24q bases?
While both are 4-pin bases used for compact fluorescent lamps, the 2G7 base has a specific pin spacing and retention mechanism. This lamp features the 2G7 base, so it is important to verify your fixture’s socket type before purchase.
4. Can I use this to replace an old 13W or 18W compact fluorescent lamp?
No, you should only replace a lamp with one of the same wattage and base type unless the fixture manufacturer specifies compatibility. This 7W lamp is intended as a direct replacement for other 7W 2G7 tubes.
5. Where is this tube best used?
Its compact size and cool white light make it ideal for under-cabinet lighting, display cases, office task lights, and small commercial fixtures where space is limited and clear, neutral illumination is desired.
