Light Efficient Design LED-7338-40A 4-Pin LED PL Retrofit Lamp - G/GX24q Base - 12W - 4000K - 1,100 Lumens - Vertical Orientation - Type A Ballast Dependent

Light Efficient Design's LED-7338-40A is a 12-watt PL retrofit lamp designed to replace traditional CFLs in compatible 4-pin G24q/G24d socket fixtures. This Type A ballast-dependent LED operates on electronic ballasts and is suitable for vertical installations in recessed downlights, wall sconces, and surface-mount fixtures where a PL-shaped lamp is required. With a 4000K color temperature, it delivers a neutral white light and is rated for 50,000 hours of use, helping reduce maintenance and replacement frequency in appropriate applications. The lamp features a G24Q base and a PL form factor, and it is not intended for use in enclosed fixtures. It carries a damp location rating, supporting installation in spaces exposed to higher humidity when appropriate for the fixture and environment.

This lamp is designed to replace up to 32W CFL counterparts, aligning with energy-saving goals while maintaining light output in compatible ballasted systems. Its 1,100-lumen nominal output provides adequate brightness for general ambient tasks in residential or light commercial settings where PL retrofit lamps are specified. The form factor measures approximately 3 inches in diameter and 3.8 inches in height, with a ballast-dependent input voltage model that requires compatible electronic ballast infrastructure to operate correctly. When considering installation, verify fixture compatibility with a 4-pin PL replacement and ensure the ballast is compatible with Type A LED operation.

Designed for use in vertical installations, this lamp supports horizontal installations as well in some configurations, but always confirm the fixture’s ballast compatibility and any manufacturer guidelines for your specific luminaire. Proper handling and fixture approval are important, especially in damp locations or settings where exposure to moisture occurs. The LED-7338-40A’s pre-determined 50,000-hour rating provides a basis for calculated maintenance planning in projects aiming to minimize lamp replacements over time.
