Our take on the Philips 391169 FC8T9 22W 8-Inch T9 Circline Fluorescent Bulb, Cool White, 4-Pin Base

This is a 22W circular T9 fluorescent lamp with a 4-pin G10q base, made for fixtures that take an 8-inch circline tube. It gives cool white light at 4100K with 1050 initial lumens and a color rendering index of 62, so colors look a bit flat compared with modern LEDs. The rated average life is 12,000 hours. It suits owners of older round ceiling fixtures, magnifier lamps and shop lights who need a direct replacement rather than an upgrade. Against LED circline retrofits it is cheaper to buy but uses more power and cannot match LED life or color quality.

Questions and answers

Will this fit my round ceiling light?
Only if the fixture takes an 8-inch T9 circline tube with a 4-pin G10q base. Check the old bulb's markings before buying.
Does it need a ballast?
Yes. It runs on the fixture's existing fluorescent ballast, so the ballast must be working and rated for a 22W circline lamp.
Is it better than an LED circline?
LED retrofits use less power, last longer and render colors better. This tube is the simpler choice when you want to keep the existing ballast and setup.
What color is the light?
Cool white at 4100K, a neutral white that suits kitchens, garages and utility rooms rather than warm living spaces.
How long does it last?
Philips rates the average life at 12,000 hours, roughly several years of normal household use.
Does it contain mercury?
Yes, like all fluorescent lamps. Recycle it at a hazardous-waste drop-off rather than putting it in household trash.
