Philips Lighting 383323 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a G24q-2 lamp fit my existing CFL fixture socket?
The Philips 383323 PL-C lamp uses a 4-pin G24q-2 base, so it only drops into a socket keyed for G24q-2. A 2-pin G24d socket will not accept it, and the other G24q keyings (q-1, q-3) are keyed differently so the lamp won't seat. Check the socket marking or the base of the lamp you are pulling out before you order the 10-pack.
2) Can I actually dim this Philips PL-C lamp, or do I need a dimming ballast too?
The lamp itself is dimmable, which is why it carries the 4-pin G24q-2 base rather than a 2-pin base. Dimming on a 4-pin CFL is done by the ballast, not the lamp: you need a dimming-rated electronic ballast and a compatible control. Put this lamp on a standard non-dimming instant-start ballast and it runs fine, it just won't dim.
3) Is the Sylvania 20877 a direct replacement for the Philips 383323 PL-C lamp?
No. The Philips 383323 is a 16.5W PL-C lamp with a 4-pin G24q-2 base, while the Sylvania 20877 is an 18-watt 4-pin Dulux T/E/IN lamp. Both share a 3500K color temperature, so the light appearance matches, but the Dulux T/E triple-tube geometry and its 18-watt rating are a different lamp body than a PL-C twin-tube on G24q-2. Confirm the socket in the fixture is G24q-2 before ordering either.
4) Is 3500K the right color for an office relamp, or should I go 4100K?
3500K is neutral white, the common choice for offices, retail and hospitality interiors where 2700K to 3000K reads too yellow and 4100K reads cool. At 82 CRI the color rendering is typical commercial fluorescent quality. If you want the cooler look, the Sylvania 20586 Dulux L Ecologic is a 4100K lamp, though it is a 40W twin-tube with a different base, so it is not a socket swap.
5) How much light does a 16.5W PL-C put out?
1200 lumens at 16.5 watts. That is a typical output for a quad-tube PL-C in a downlight or wall sconce, roughly what a single lamp needs to cover a recessed can in an office corridor or a hotel room fixture. Two-lamp fixtures running these give you 2400 lumens total.
6) I'm mixing in replacements across a building. Will these match the lamps already in the other fixtures?
Match on three things and the fixtures will look the same: base (G24q-2), color temperature (3500K) and output (1200 lumens). Any of those off and you will see it. 3500K next to a 4100K lamp in the same corridor is an obvious difference, and a lamp of different wattage in an adjacent downlight shows as a brightness step. The 10-pack is sized for doing a run of fixtures at once rather than one-offs.
7) I need more light output than the Philips 383323 in a compact fluorescent. What else is there?
The Philips 383323 delivers 1200 lumens at 16.5W. For a higher-wattage compact fluorescent, the Sylvania 20586 is a 40W Dulux L Ecologic twin-tube lamp at 4100K. It is a long twin-tube format on a different base than the G24q-2 the Philips uses, and 4100K reads cooler than 3500K, so it suits a different fixture and a different look rather than dropping into the same socket.
8) Is 82 CRI good enough for retail or a hotel lobby?
82 CRI is standard commercial-grade rendering, fine for offices, corridors, back-of-house and general hospitality lighting. Where merchandise color or skin tone really matters, such as apparel display or a cosmetics counter, buyers typically specify 90+ CRI instead. For a straight relamp of existing office or lobby fixtures, 82 matches what is almost certainly already in them.
9) How many lamps come in a Philips 383323 order?
Supplied as a 10-pack, which is the standard case for relamping work. If you are doing a floor of two-lamp downlights, one case covers five fixtures; order by fixture count times lamps per fixture rather than by fixture count alone.
