Philips Lighting 476085 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to remove the ballast to install this Philips 12W LED PL-C lamp?
No. The Philips 12W LED PL-C is a Type A lamp, meaning it runs on the existing CFL ballast. You pull the old PL-C lamp out of the G24Q socket and plug this one in, no rewiring. The tradeoff with Type A is that the lamp depends on the ballast staying healthy, so if a ballast is already failing you are better off replacing it or going to a ballast bypass product.
2) Will a PL-C LED lamp with a G24Q base fit my G24d sockets?
No. This lamp has a 4-pin G24Q base, which only seats in a 4-pin G24q socket. G24d sockets are 2-pin and used on magnetic-ballast, preheat CFL fixtures; the pin arrangement is different and the lamp will not seat. Check the socket in one fixture before ordering for a building.
3) What ballast output does this 12W LED PL-C lamp need to work on?
It is specified for 25 to 55 V with a lamp current between 150 mA and 500 mA, and an input frequency range of 20,000 to 100,000 Hz. That frequency range means it is built for electronic CFL ballasts in the 12-32W class, not old magnetic ballasts. If the fixture has a high-frequency electronic ballast sized for 13W through 32W PL lamps, it is in range.
4) Can a Sylvania 79292 A19 LED be used in place of a 12W LED PL-C lamp with a G24Q base?
No. The Philips 12W LED PL-C lamp uses a G24Q four-pin base that plugs into an existing CFL socket, while the Sylvania 79292 is an A19 Contractor Series lamp intended for standard screw-base sockets. The two bases are not interchangeable, so an A19 lamp will not seat in a G24Q pin socket. Use the A19 only where the fixture already has a medium screw socket.
5) My CFL fixture has no ballast left in it. Is the Philips 12W LED PL-C lamp still the right choice?
The Philips 12W LED PL-C lamp is a Type A lamp that works on the existing ballast and draws 25 to 55 V through the G24Q pins, so it depends on a functioning ballast. If the ballast has been removed or bypassed, the socket is no longer a match for it and you should specify a line-voltage lamp instead, such as a screw-base A19 in the Sylvania Contractor Series or a dimmable lamp from the Sylvania Ultra LED range in the shape the fixture accepts.
6) Is this Philips PL-C LED actually dimmable on a ballast?
The lamp itself is listed as dimmable, but because it is a Type A lamp running off the existing CFL ballast, the dimming is done by the ballast, not by a line-voltage wall dimmer. You need a dimming electronic CFL ballast already in the fixture. On a non-dimming ballast the lamp runs at full output.
7) Will 1400 lumens from a 12W LED match the CFL it replaces?
At 1400 lumens and 116 lm/W, this lamp covers the output of the 26W and 32W CFL PL-C lamps it is built to swap for, at 12W of draw. Beam spread is 120 degrees with a frosted plastic bulb, so the distribution is wide and diffuse rather than directional, which is what downlights and wall sconces built for CFL need.
8) Can I use this PL-C LED lamp in an unheated garage or parking structure?
Operating ambient range is -20 C to 45 C, so an unheated garage or covered parking deck is within spec in most climates. Storage range is wider, -40 C to 65 C. The 45 C ceiling is the one to watch: tight enclosed downlights or high-bay cans that trap heat can run past it.
9) Does this lamp qualify for a utility rebate?
It carries DLC Standard listing, which is the qualification most utility and energy-efficiency programs check against for commercial LED rebates. It is also EU RoHS compliant and country of origin is the United States. Rebate amounts and program rules vary by utility, so confirm with your program using the DLC listing.
10) Will the 3500K and 4000K versions look the same across a run of fixtures?
Color consistency is specified at under 6 SDCM within a given color code, so lamps of the same color temperature should match acceptably across a corridor or retail run. Do not mix the 3500K and 4000K versions on the same ceiling, the 500K gap is plainly visible side by side. Standardize one CCT per space.
11) What should I order instead if the fixture needs a directional beam rather than a plug-in CFL replacement?
The Philips 12W LED PL-C lamp is an omnidirectional-style frosted lamp with a 120 degree nominal beam angle, built for general illumination in CFL downlights and troffers. For a tighter, aimed beam in track or accent fixtures, the Topaz Lighting LP16630K is a dimmable PAR16 reflector lamp at 3000K. It is a reflector format, so plan the socket and trim around it rather than treating it as a drop-in for a G24Q fixture.
12) Will a 3000K PAR16 match the color of the Philips LED PL-C lamps I already installed?
Not exactly. The Philips 12W LED PL-C lamp is offered at 3500K and at 4000K cool white, with 82 CRI and color consistency under 6 SDCM. The Topaz LP16630K is a 3000K lamp, so in the same sightline it will read warmer than either PL-C option. For visual consistency, hold to one color temperature across the space.
13) Is a dimmable PAR16 or A19 LED a substitute for this PL-C lamp?
No, those are different sockets entirely. The Topaz Lighting LP166 Series dimmable LED PAR16 is a directional screw-base reflector lamp, and the Sylvania Ultra LED series and Sylvania 79292 Contractor Series A19 are medium-base general service lamps. None of them seat in a 4-pin G24Q CFL socket. Use those only if you are replacing the whole fixture or the socket.
14) Does this LED PL-C lamp affect power quality on a large retrofit?
Power factor is 0.9 nominal, which keeps the apparent load close to the real load when you are running hundreds of these on a panel. At 12W each with 1400 lumens, the connected load drop versus 26W or 32W CFLs is the main driver for a building-wide swap.
