GE reference 29327 is also associated with the F212D/835/4P lamp format.
If your existing lamp is marked:
F212D/835/4P
or
GE 29327
check that the base and physical dimensions also correspond with your existing fitting.

The most important replacement specifications remain:

Important: Manufacturer references are provided as a replacement guide. Always confirm the wattage, base, pin configuration, colour code and physical dimensions of your existing lamp before ordering.
The 21W 835 4-pin 2D fluorescent lamp is commonly used in compatible:
The compact square-shaped design provides broad illumination while requiring considerably less length than a conventional linear fluorescent tube.
Before ordering, check the markings printed on your existing 2D fluorescent lamp.
For this product, look for:
21W + 835 + 4-Pin + 3500K
You may also find markings such as:
21W/835/4P
F212D/835/4P
GR10q
G10Q
or a manufacturer-specific catalogue number.
If one of these markings appears on your old lamp, also compare the physical size and pin arrangement before purchasing.
The 835 colour code is an important identifier when replacing fluorescent lamps.
8 = CRI approximately 80+
35 = approximately 3500K colour temperature
Therefore:
835 = CRI 80+ / 3500K
This is particularly useful because customers may find 835 printed on the old lamp without seeing “3500K” written anywhere.
Searching the manufacturer's lamp number together with 21W/835/4P can also help identify the correct replacement.
This product uses a 4-pin 2D lamp base.
A similar-looking 2-pin 2D fluorescent lamp is not automatically interchangeable, even if it has the same wattage and appears physically similar.
For this product, check:
✓ 21W
✓ 835
✓ 3500K
✓ 4-Pin
✓ GR10q / compatible G10Q-labelled fitting
✓ Correct physical dimensions
Do not choose a replacement based solely on the square shape of the lamp.
The 835 / 3500K Cool White colour provides a balanced white appearance between warmer 2700K–3000K lighting and cooler 4000K lighting.

If maintaining the same light appearance as your existing installation is important, look for 835 or 3500K on your old lamp.
