Will this fit a standard light socket?

No. It has a 4-pin G24Q-3 base that plugs into a compatible electronic ballast fixture, not a screw socket.

What color is the light?

3500K, a neutral white. It sits between warm white and cool daylight, which suits offices, shops and task areas.

1,710 lumens at 26 watts, roughly comparable to a 100W incandescent in perceived brightness.

Only if the fixture's ballast is rated for dimming. Standard ballasts for this lamp are not dimmable.

Sylvania rates it at 12,000 hours. Actual life depends on ballast type, switching frequency and fixture heat.

No. 4-pin and 2-pin lamps use different ballast wiring and are not interchangeable.
