The G10Q 2D 4-Pin 38W 827 Warm White Fluorescent Lamp is a high-output square-shaped replacement lamp designed for compatible 2D fluorescent fittings requiring a 38W 4-pin lamp.

Producing approximately 2850 lumens with a warm 2700K (827) colour temperature, this 38W 2D lamp provides strong, broad and even illumination from a compact flat design. Philips and Sylvania equivalents of this format are also specified at approximately 2850 lumens.

38W • 827 • 2700K • GR10q / G10Q • 4-Pin

Philips directly confirms its PL-Q equivalent as 38W/827/4P, GR10q, 2700K and 2850 lm. Sylvania's catalogue confirms LYNX QE 38W GR10q 827, product code 0025001, 2700K, 2850 lm and 10,000 hours.

Philips Cross-Reference

A particularly useful replacement reference is:

Philips PL-Q 38W/827/4P – GR10q – 927939482740 – EAN 8711500271716

You may also encounter older Philips identification:

CFS38W/GR10q/827

These are documented Philips references for the same PL-Q 38W/827 format.

Sylvania Cross-Reference

Another strong replacement reference is:

Sylvania LYNX QE 38W GR10q 827 – Product Code 0025001

The key specifications to match remain:

38W • 827 • 2700K • GR10q • 4-Pin

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.

Common Applications

The 38W 827 4-pin 2D fluorescent lamp is commonly used in compatible:

• Bulkhead lights
• Commercial ceiling fittings
• Hallways and corridors
• Stairwell lighting
• Apartment and body-corporate common areas
• Emergency lighting
• Commercial buildings
• Hospitality environments
• Public buildings
• Utility areas
• Wall-mounted fittings
• Enclosed exterior fittings

The higher 38W output makes this lamp particularly suitable for larger 2D fittings requiring substantially more light than lower-wattage 16W or 21W lamps.

How to Identify the Correct Replacement

Before ordering, check the markings printed on your existing 2D fluorescent lamp.

For this product, look for:

38W + 827 + 4-Pin + 2700K

You may also find:

38W/827/4P

PL-Q 38W/827/4P

LYNX QE 38W GR10q 827

CFS38W/GR10q/827

or another manufacturer's equivalent catalogue number.

What Does 827 Mean?

The 827 colour code is an important identifier when replacing fluorescent lamps.

8 = CRI approximately 80+

27 = approximately 2700K colour temperature

Therefore:

827 = CRI 80+ / 2700K Warm White

Philips officially specifies its 827 version at 2700K with CRI 82.

This is particularly useful when identifying an old lamp because 827 may be printed on the lamp even when 2700K is not.

GR10q / G10Q 4-Pin – Important Compatibility Information

This product uses a 4-pin 2D lamp base.

Please check the base of your existing lamp carefully before ordering.

A similar-looking 2D fluorescent lamp with a different wattage, colour code or pin configuration is not automatically interchangeable, even if the overall square shape appears similar.

For this product, check:

✓ 38W

✓ 827

✓ 2700K Warm White

✓ GR10q / 4-Pin

✓ Compatible physical dimensions

Do not select a replacement based solely on appearance.

827 / 2700K Warm White Light

The 827 / 2700K Warm White colour produces a softer and warmer light appearance than 3500K or 4000K fluorescent lamps.

It is particularly suitable for:

• Residential-style interiors
• Apartment common areas
• Hospitality environments
• Reception areas
• Hallways
• Corridors
• Warm commercial interiors
• General-purpose ceiling and wall lighting

If maintaining the same colour as your existing installation is important, check whether 827 or 2700K is printed on your old lamp.
