• This premium LED masterfully solves the persistent problems of high energy consumption, frequent lamp and ballast failures, and the poor light quality associated with older fluorescent technology.
• Its most significant differentiating factor is its direct-to-mains design, which allows for the complete removal of inefficient and failure-prone control gear.
• By combining a superior 30,000-hour lifespan with a powerful 800-lumen output and a crisp, uniform beam, the PL 2Pin Premium 8W LED G24d 4500K is the ultimate choice for commercial and residential properties looking to significantly reduce maintenance and energy costs.
• Emitting a clear 4000K/4500K Cool White light, it represents a long-term, reliable upgrade for countless downlight and bulkhead fixtures.

Features

• Exceptional Energy Efficiency: Consumes just 8 watts of power while producing 800 lumens, offering a direct replacement for 18W CFL PL lamps and delivering over 55% in energy savings when accounting for ballast consumption.
• Superior 30,000-Hour Lifespan: Engineered for an extremely long operational life, providing years of reliable, maintenance-free performance and drastically reducing replacement cycles.
• Direct-to-Mains Operation: Designed to be wired directly to a 230V supply, allowing for the removal of old, inefficient magnetic and electronic ballasts.
• G24d 2-Pin Base: Features the standard G24d base for a perfect physical fit in existing downlight and bulkhead fixtures designed for 2-pin PL lamps.
• Crisp 4000K/4500K Cool White Light: Emits a clean, neutral white light that enhances visibility and creates a modern, productive atmosphere.
• Wide and Comfortable Beam Angle: A broad 120-degree beam angle provides excellent, uniform light distribution, effectively illuminating spaces without the dark spots of older lamps.
• High Colour Accuracy: A Colour Rendering Index (CRI) of over 80 ensures that colours in your space appear natural and true-to-life.
• Instant-On, Flicker-Free Light: Reaches 100% brightness immediately upon being switched on, with no the annoying warm-up delay or flicker associated with fluorescent tubes.
• Reliable Performance: Engineered with a robust, non-dimmable driver for maximum stability and longevity when used in standard on/off lighting circuits.
• 2-Year Warranty: Backed by a comprehensive 2-year manufacturer warranty for complete peace of mind.

Benefits

• Drastically Reduce Operating Costs: The combination of lower wattage and the elimination of energy-wasting ballasts can cut the running cost of each light fixture by more than half, leading to substantial and immediate savings on your utility bills.
• Virtually Eliminate Lighting Maintenance: The incredible 30,000-hour lifespan means you can install this lamp and not worry about replacements for many years. This is a massive advantage in commercial buildings, apartment blocks, and hotels where hundreds of these fittings are often in use, saving huge amounts on labour and replacement lamp costs.
• Improve Overall Light Quality: Enjoy instant, bright, and silent illumination. This LED lamp eliminates the buzzing, flickering, and slow start-up of old fluorescent tubes, creating a more pleasant and productive environment for occupants.
• Increase System Reliability: By removing the fluorescent ballast—the most common point of failure in a PL fitting—you are creating a simpler, more robust, and far more reliable lighting system for the future.
• Environmentally Friendly Upgrade: This LED lamp contains no harmful mercury, unlike the CFL lamps it replaces, making it easier and safer to dispose of at the end of its long life.
• Invest with Confidence: The 2-year warranty provides assurance of the lamp's quality construction and reliable performance in a commercial setting.

Tips

To ensure a safe and successful installation of your Eurolux PL 2Pin Premium 8W LED G24d 4500K, please follow these critical expert recommendations:

• CRITICAL - MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN: This is not a simple plug-and-play lamp. It requires modification of the existing light fitting's wiring. Installation must only be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes.
• CRITICAL - BALLAST AND STARTER MUST BE REMOVED: The existing fluorescent control gear (both magnetic and electronic ballasts, and any starters) must be completely disconnected and removed from the circuit.
• DIRECT WIRING ONLY: This LED lamp is designed to be wired directly to the 230V mains supply. The electrician will need to connect the Live and Neutral wires directly to the lamp holder terminals. Attempting to install this lamp into an unmodified fluorescent fitting will destroy the lamp instantly and create a safety hazard.
• FUSED TERMINAL BLOCK RECOMMENDED: For enhanced safety and protection, it is recommended that a fused terminal block is added to the live connection during the rewiring process.
• NON-DIMMABLE: This lamp is not compatible with any type of dimmer switch. It must be used on a standard on/off switched circuit only.
• CHECK FIXTURE DIMENSIONS: Before purchasing, measure the internal clearance of your downlight or bulkhead fixture to ensure this lamp (146mm length x 37mm width) will fit comfortably.
