The GR8 2D 2-Pin 16W Warm White Fluorescent Lamp is a compact, energy-efficient replacement lamp designed for compatible 2D fluorescent fittings.

Producing approximately 1050 lumens with a comfortable 2700K Warm White (827) colour temperature, this lamp is ideal for residential, commercial, bulkhead and general-purpose lighting applications.

The distinctive flat, square 2D design provides broad and even illumination while fitting into relatively shallow light fixtures.

Its GR8 2-pin base makes it suitable for compatible 16W 2D fittings commonly found in bathrooms, hallways, stairwells, apartments, bulkhead lights and commercial buildings.

With an approximate rated life of 10,000 hours, it is a practical replacement for discontinued or difficult-to-find 16W GR8 2-pin 2D fluorescent lamps from manufacturers including Philips, OSRAM, Sylvania, GE and Tungsram.

Common Applications

The GR8 2D 16W 2-pin fluorescent lamp is commonly used in compatible:

• Bulkhead lights
• Ceiling fittings
• Bathroom lighting
• Hallways and corridors
• Stairwell lighting
• Apartment and body-corporate common areas
• Commercial buildings
• Utility rooms
• Wall-mounted fittings
• Security lighting

Its compact shape makes it particularly useful where a traditional linear fluorescent tube would require too much space.

How to Identify the Correct Replacement

Before purchasing a replacement 2D lamp, check the markings printed on your existing lamp or lamp base.

For this product, you should be looking for:

16W + GR8 + 2-Pin

Your existing lamp may also show:

827 / 2700K

The 827 code identifies the lamp's colour characteristics, including its warm 2700K colour temperature.

You may also find one of the Philips, OSRAM, Sylvania, GE or Tungsram reference numbers listed above printed on the original lamp or packaging.

2-Pin vs 4-Pin – Important

Please check the number of pins carefully before ordering.

This product has a GR8 2-pin base.

A visually similar 4-pin 2D lamp is not automatically interchangeable with this 2-pin lamp, even when the lamp has the same physical shape or wattage.

Do not select a replacement based solely on appearance.

Warm White 2700K Light

The 827 / 2700K Warm White colour produces a softer and warmer appearance than Cool White alternatives.

It is particularly suitable for:

• Residential interiors
• Bathrooms
• Hallways
• Apartment common areas
• Hospitality environments
• Areas where a warmer, more comfortable light is preferred

If you're replacing an existing lamp and want the same light appearance, check whether 827 or 2700K is printed on your old lamp.
