It emits a warm 2700K light with an 82 CRI for true color rendering, consumes low energy while delivering 1200 lumens, and boasts a long 10,000-hour lifespan. Ideal for professional and hospitality environments, it comes in a convenient 4-pack, ensuring reliable, maintenance-free illumination with easy plug-and-play installation. ## Description Is PLD the same as PLC? Yes. PLD, PL-D, PL-C, Dulux D/E and Double Biax are different brands' names for the same 18-watt 4-pin double twin-tube lamp on a G24q-2 base. Is this an LED? No. It is a compact fluorescent lamp that runs on the electronic ballast in your fixture. If you want an LED, look for an LED that specifies G24q-2 and your ballast type. How long does it last? Rated 10,000 hours on the standard 3-hour-per-start cycle. A bathroom fan switched on for a few minutes at a time will not reach that; an office downlight running all day will. Will it fit my 13W or 26W fixture? No. The G24q-1 (13W) and GX24q-3 (26W) sockets are keyed differently so the wrong wattage cannot seat. Match 18W and G24q-2. Does it work with a magnetic ballast? No. 4-pin lamps need an electronic ballast. The 2-pin G24d version is the magnetic-ballast lamp. ## Features - 18W 4-PIN G24q-2 ONLY β€” not 13W G24q-1, not 26W GX24q-3, not 2-pin G24d, not LED. Count the pins on your old bulb: 4 pins and about 6.1 inches overall means this is your bulb. It runs on the electronic ballast already in your fixture; no rewiring. It is not a line-voltage or ballast-bypass lamp. - SAME BULB, DIFFERENT NAMES β€” PL-C, PLD, PL-D, Dulux D/E, Double Biax and CF18DD/E are brand names for one standard lamp: an 18-watt 4-pin double twin-tube compact fluorescent on a G24q-2 base. Direct replacement for Philips PL-C 18W/827/4P (ALTO, 38329-9), Sylvania CF18DD/E/827 (20683), GE F18DBX/827/ECO4P (97594), Osram Dulux D/E 18W/827, Sunlite PLD18/E/SP27K, Satco S6734 and Panasonic FDS18E35/4. - 2700K WARM WHITE, 82 CRI β€” the 827 code means 2700 Kelvin, 80-plus CRI: the same warm, inviting tone as an incandescent bulb, for hotel rooms, living areas, sconces, table and floor lamps. - RATED 10,000 HOURS AT 3 HOURS PER START β€” compact fluorescent life is rated on a 3-hour on, 20-minute off cycle. In bathroom exhaust fans and other short-cycle use, expect fewer hours; in all-day office, corridor and downlight duty, expect the full rating. Not dimmable on a standard ballast. Indoor, dry locations. - 4-PACK, 18 WATTS EACH β€” four individually sleeved lamps, T4 double tube, G24q-2 base, about 6.1 in overall. Model PLC-18W/827. Fits Panasonic WhisperLite fan lights and other fixtures that take an 18W 4-pin double tube. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Additional Features | Energy Efficient | | Asin | B01FR8KON2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,873 in Industrial & Scientific (See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific) #18 in Compact Fluorescent Bulbs | | Brand Name | Circle | | Bulb Base | G4 | | Bulb Shape Size | T4 | | Color | 2700k | | Color Rendering Index | 82 | | Color Temperature | 2700 Kelvin | | Connectivity Technology | Normal bulb | | Control Method | App | | Controller Type | Push Button | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (1,307) 4.2 out of 5 stars | | Efficiency | 66.67 lumens/watt | | Incandescent Equivalent Wattage | 13 watts | | Included Components | 4 light bulbs | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Weight | 9.92 ounces | | Light Color | White | | Light Source Operating Life | 12000 hours | | Light Source Type | Fluorescent | | Light Source Wattage | 18 watts | | Light Type | CFL | | Manufacturer | Circle | | Manufacturer Part Number | 121 | | Material Type | Glass | | Model Name | PLC-18W/827 | | Model Number | PLC-18W/827 | | Number Of Items | 4 | | Package Quantity | 4 | | Power Consumption | 18 watts | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Shape | t4 | | Specific Uses For Product | Lamp | | Unit Count | 4 Count | | Upc | 030465197113 | | Voltage | 120 volts | | Wattage | 18 watts | | White Brightness | 1200 lumens | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Circle - **Bulb Shape Size:** T4 - **Light Type:** CFL - **Special Feature:** Energy Efficient - **Wattage:** 18 watts ## Images ![PLC-18W 827 CFL 4-Pin G24q-2 2700K Replaces PL-C CF18DD/E PLD 4 Pack - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61H1fAj1AKS.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will one of these 18W bulbs work in a Coleman lantern that has been using a 13W bulb (hopefully, only draining batteries more quickly)?** A: Doubt it. The base has plastic tabs that key it for different wattages, your light should have slots aligned to only take 13w (and possibly lower) bulbs. I think that the picture for this product is wrong, my 13w bulbs have the keys at 12 and 6 o'clock , and 18w has keys at 5 and 11. **Q: Can this replace a cooper r10 13w/4p?** A: If the base is 4 Pin G24q-1, then it will replace without a issue **Q: Is this for G24q-2 base or G24q-1? It says g24q-2 in the description, but the picture looks like a g24q-1.** A: G24q-2 as all 18watts are manufactured with the plastic piece sticking out on the bottom slightkh moved over from the center. **Q: Is this truly rated for outdoor use? The Amazon listing says it is, but the actual packaging makes no mention of outdoor use. And the website is dead.** A: I bought for indoor use so I can’t help you ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great *by on Reviewed in the United States October 3, 2026* Works Great ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great buy for the money *by on Reviewed in the United States September 2, 2026* Great price, fits the fixture, no glare. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Check the notch *by on Reviewed in the United States July 2, 2026* Great price, fast shipping, make sure the little plastic notch matches this one on this bulb. ## Frequently Bought Together - (4 Pack) PLC-18W 827, 4 Pin G24q-2, 18 Watt Double Tube, Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb, Replaces Sylvania 20683 and Philips 38329-9 - PL-C 18W/827/4P/ALTO - Sylvania 20669 26W Compact Fluorescent 4-Pin Double Tube 4100K 2-PACK --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/28504241-plc-18w-827-cfl-4-pin-g24q-2-2700k-replaces](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/28504241-plc-18w-827-cfl-4-pin-g24q-2-2700k-replaces) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-27*
