Light Efficient Design LED-7318-35A 4-Pin LED PL Retrofit Lamp - G/GX24q Base - 12W - 3500K - 1,157 Lumens - Vertical Orientation - 120-277V or Ballast Compatible

Light Efficient Design’s LED-7318-35A is a 12-watt LED retrofit lamp designed to replace older CFLs in 4-pin G24q or GX24q sockets. It provides a 3500K color temperature and a brightness around 1,100–1,157 lumens, offering a comparable light output to traditional CFL downlights while consuming less energy. The lamp is built for vertical installations and can operate on either existing ballasts or direct 120-277V line voltage, giving flexible wiring options for varied fixture configurations. With a rated lifespan of 50,000 hours, this lamp aims to reduce maintenance and replacement frequency in suitable indoor fixtures such as recessed downlights, wall sconces, or surface-mounted luminaires.

Constructed for damp locations, the LED-7318-35A supports dual base and electrical compatibility: it is designed to fit 4-pin G24q and GX24q sockets and can switch between ballast-dependent operation and direct mains voltage. This versatility helps streamline projects where ballast compatibility or retrofit simplicity is a priority, especially in installations that use existing HID-equivalent ballast hardware. The compact form factors—approximately 2.8 inches in length and 3 inches in diameter—assist with fit considerations in many recessed or shallow fixtures, though exact clearance should be confirmed in the host luminaire.

For buyers, the key practical considerations are the lamp’s vertical orientation requirement, ballast compatibility options, and its 50,000-hour life expectancy. When evaluating feasibility, verify that your fixture supports 4-pin G24q or GX24q bases and confirm whether a ballast is present or preferred for operation. This product’s 12W power draw and its 3500K color temperature position it as a warm-neutral option within residential and light commercial settings, aligning with common ambient illumination goals while offering energy efficiency over traditional CFLs.
