Technical Specifications

This CFL bulb is engineered for longevity and efficiency. It features a standard medium base, making it compatible with most common household light fixtures. The bulb delivers a brightness output of 1600 lumens, ensuring effective lighting for your space. It is designed to last for approximately 9 years based on typical usage patterns, significantly reducing the frequency of bulb replacements.

Usage and Safety Guidelines

For optimal performance and safety, ensure the bulb is installed in a compatible fixture. This specific model is non-dimmable, meaning it should not be used with dimmer switches, as this can damage the internal electronics of the bulb and lead to premature failure or flickering. Always turn off the power to the light fixture before installing or removing the bulb to prevent electrical shock. Handle the bulb by the base rather than the glass spiral tube to avoid applying excessive pressure to the delicate glass structure.

Maintenance and Disposal

To maintain the longevity of your CFL bulb, keep the fixture clean and free of dust. If the bulb reaches the end of its life, it should be disposed of properly. Because CFL bulbs contain a small amount of mercury, they should not be thrown in regular household trash. Check your local waste management guidelines or recycling programs for information on how to safely recycle fluorescent lighting products in your area. Proper disposal helps protect the environment and ensures that materials are handled responsibly.
