The 16W 2D Fluorescent Bulb produces bright and consistent illumination with a Cool White 7000K colour temperature. Its crisp lighting effect is especially useful in environments where clear visibility and practical everyday illumination are required.

With an output of approximately 1800 lumens, this compact fluorescent lamp provides dependable brightness while consuming only 16 watts. It is suitable for compatible enclosed or semi-enclosed fittings commonly installed in bathrooms, kitchens, corridors, stairwells, utility rooms and commercial premises.

The distinctive 2D lamp shape helps distribute light evenly inside a compatible fitting. This makes the 16W 2D Fluorescent Bulb a practical replacement for an existing fluorescent lamp with matching wattage, base type, dimensions and electrical requirements.

A GR8 2-pin cap is located at the centre of the lamp. Before placing an order, remove the existing lamp safely and confirm that it also has a GR8 base with two connecting pins. A GR8 2-pin bulb is different from a GR10q 4-pin lamp and the two versions are not directly interchangeable.

The 16W 2D Fluorescent Bulb operates in a compatible 220–240V fitting and offers an expected service life of up to 10,000 hours under suitable operating conditions. Its dependable lifespan helps reduce the inconvenience and expense of frequent replacements.

This compact fluorescent lamp is designed to work with compatible fluorescent control gear. Existing fittings can contain magnetic ballasts, electronic ballasts or emergency-lighting components. The fitting and control gear should therefore be checked for compatibility before installation.

The Cool White 7000K output creates a clean, bright and highly functional atmosphere rather than a warm decorative glow. It is particularly suitable for bathrooms, washrooms, communal areas, kitchens, offices and other locations where clear general lighting is preferred.

The compact and relatively flat profile enables this lamp to fit inside many compatible round, square or rectangular bulkhead fixtures. Its shape is useful in fittings where a conventional household bulb or long fluorescent tube cannot be accommodated.

The 16W 2D Fluorescent Bulb can also provide an appropriate replacement option for compatible commercial and property-maintenance lighting systems. Landlords, facility managers and maintenance teams should compare all specifications with the existing lamp before ordering.

For safe replacement, switch off the electricity supply and allow the existing lamp to cool completely. Hold the old bulb by its base rather than pulling directly on its glass tubes. Align both pins carefully with the fitting and avoid applying excessive force during installation.
