- Will this fit a standard screw-in lamp holder?
- No. It has a G23 two-pin base and only fits plug-in fixtures made for that base, such as under-cabinet lights and some desk or bathroom fittings.
- Is it dimmable?
- No. Standard compact fluorescent tubes like this are not designed for dimmers and may flicker or fail on a dimmed circuit.
- How bright is it compared with an old incandescent bulb?
- About 400 lumens, roughly what a 40W incandescent gives, in a warm 2700K tone.
- Can I replace it with an LED tube?
- Yes, if you find a G23 LED replacement. It will use less power and start instantly, but check that the fixture does not rely on the fluorescent ballast.
- How should I dispose of it?
- It contains a small amount of mercury, so take it to a household hazardous waste or bulb recycling point rather than putting it in normal trash.
- What is in the box?
- One 7W G23 tube. The fixture itself is not included.
