SYSTEM
The GR10q 2D 4-Pin 16W 835 Fluorescent Lamp is a compact square-shaped replacement lamp designed for compatible 2D fluorescent fittings using a GR10q 4-pin base.
Producing approximately 1050 lumens with a 3500K White (835) colour temperature, this 16W 2D lamp provides broad, even illumination from a compact, low-profile design.
The distinctive flat 2D shape makes it particularly suitable for compatible ceiling lights, wall fittings, bulkhead lights, corridors, stairwells, commercial lighting and emergency lighting applications where fitting depth is limited.
This lamp is an ideal replacement for existing 16W 835 GR10q 4-pin 2D fluorescent lamps, including compatible equivalent models from manufacturers such as Philips and other major lighting brands, provided the wattage, base, pin configuration and colour code match.

A particularly useful replacement reference for this lamp is:
Philips PL-Q 16W/835/4P – GR10q – 927939183540
If this reference, or PL-Q 16W/835/4P, appears on your existing lamp, this product has the same key lamp format: 16W, 835, GR10q and 4-pin.
The 16W GR10q 4-pin 2D fluorescent lamp is commonly used in compatible:
Its compact square shape provides broad illumination while allowing manufacturers to design relatively shallow ceiling and wall fittings.
Before ordering, check the information printed on your existing lamp.
For this product, look for:
16W + 835 + GR10q + 4-Pin
Your old lamp may also be marked:
16W/835/4P
or:
PL-Q 16W/835/4P
The 835 colour code indicates approximately 3500K White light.
You may also find a manufacturer product number such as the Philips reference listed above.
This product uses a GR10q 4-pin base.
Please physically check the base of your existing lamp before ordering.
A similar-looking GR8 2-pin 2D lamp is not interchangeable simply because it has the same 16W wattage or square shape.
The replacement should match:
✓ 16W
✓ GR10q
✓ 4-Pin
✓ 835 / 3500K if you want the same light colour
Do not select a 2D replacement based solely on its physical appearance.
The 835 lamp code identifies the colour characteristics of the fluorescent lamp.
The first digit indicates a colour rendering range of approximately 80+, while 35 indicates a colour temperature of approximately 3500K.
Therefore:
835 = CRI 80+ / 3500K White
This provides a neutral-to-warm white appearance between traditional 3000K Warm White and 4000K Cool White.
The 3500K White colour is suitable for applications where a balanced light appearance is preferred.
Common applications include:
If maintaining the same colour as your existing fitting is important, check that 835 or 3500K appears on your old lamp.
