Important Note About Manufacturer Codes

Older 2D fluorescent lamps are available in several colour temperatures, and manufacturer colour codes may differ from the specifications of this particular NZ Lights product.

For this reason, do not select a replacement based only on a manufacturer name or similar-looking 2D shape.

For this product, the specifications that should be matched are:

28W • GR8 • 2-Pin • 3500K

If your existing lamp is Philips, OSRAM, GE, Sylvania, Crompton or another brand, check the actual markings printed on the lamp before ordering.

Important: Manufacturer names are provided as a replacement guide only. Always confirm the wattage, GR8 base, 2-pin configuration, colour temperature and physical dimensions of your existing lamp.

Common Applications

The GR8 2D 28W 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

• Hospitality environments

• Utility areas

• Public buildings

• Wall-mounted fittings

• Enclosed exterior fittings

The compact square design provides broad illumination without requiring the length of a conventional linear fluorescent tube.

This makes 2D lamps particularly useful in shallow wall and ceiling fittings where space is limited.

How to Identify the Correct Replacement

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

For this product, you should be looking for:

28W + GR8 + 2-Pin + 3500K

Your existing lamp may use terminology such as:

28W 2D

28W GR8

28W/2P

3500K

or a manufacturer-specific catalogue or model number.

If the markings are difficult to read, check the number of pins and physical dimensions of your existing lamp.

GR8 2-Pin – Important Compatibility Information

This product uses a GR8 2-pin base.

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

A similar-looking GR10q 4-pin 2D fluorescent lamp is not interchangeable with this GR8 2-pin lamp simply because it has the same wattage or similar square shape.

For this product, check:

✓ 28W

✓ GR8

✓ 2-Pin

✓ 3500K Warm White

✓ Compatible physical dimensions

Do not choose a replacement based solely on appearance.

3500K Warm White Light

The 3500K Warm White colour provides a balanced light appearance between traditional warmer 2700K lighting and cooler 4000K lighting.

It is particularly suitable for:

• Hallways

• Bathrooms

• Apartment common areas

• Hospitality environments

• Commercial interiors

• Reception areas

• Corridors

• General-purpose ceiling lighting

3500K can be a useful choice where you want a comfortable light appearance without the stronger yellow tone associated with 2700K lamps.

If maintaining the same light appearance as your existing installation is important, confirm that the old lamp is also 3500K before ordering.
