How to select the correct lamp

Compatibility and safety

G23 and 2G7 versions are not interchangeable. Two lamps with the same PL-S appearance may require different control gear.

Important: The library describes a lamp format, not a particular product. A shared shape does not guarantee matching voltage, base, dimensions, light distribution or control-gear requirements. Confirm the fixture label and product datasheet, or ask a Bulb World lighting specialist.

Replacement Notes

Read the wattage and base code, count the pins, measure the lamp and verify ballast or direct-wire requirements before selecting a replacement.
