SYSTEM
The G10q T5 Circline 32W 827 Warm White Circular Fluorescent Tube is a compact circular fluorescent replacement lamp designed for compatible fittings requiring a 32W G10q circline lamp.
Producing a comfortable 2700K Warm White (827) light, this circular fluorescent tube provides broad, even illumination around its ring-shaped design.
With an approximate 270mm overall diameter, the lamp is suitable for compatible ceiling fittings, circular light fixtures and other applications designed specifically for this size and base configuration.
The circular design provides uniform illumination while taking up less linear space than a conventional straight fluorescent tube, making circline lamps popular in residential, commercial, task-lighting and specialist fittings.
This lamp is particularly useful for replacing older or difficult-to-find 32W G10q Warm White circular fluorescent tubes, where the existing fitting requires the same wattage, base, diameter and colour temperature.

This 32W 827 G10q circular fluorescent lamp may be suitable as a replacement for equivalent circline lamps where the original fitting requires:
32W • G10q • 827 • 2700K Warm White • Approx. 270mm
Useful replacement descriptions and search references include:

A useful search/reference format found in the OSRAM range is:
OSRAM LUMILUX Circline G10q 32W/827
OSRAM documentation identifies its reference as:
L 32W/827 C G10Q
and article/reference:
FC032827/02
with GTIN:
4008321581129.
However, there is an important compatibility consideration:
OSRAM's documented version has different physical dimensions from this NZ Lights 270mm product.
Therefore, I would not describe the OSRAM lamp as a guaranteed direct replacement. The reference is useful for customers searching by lamp type, wattage, colour and base, but the physical diameter must also be checked.
For this NZ Lights product, match:
32W • G10q • 827 • 2700K • Approx. 270mm
Important: Manufacturer references are provided as an identification and replacement guide only. Always confirm the wattage, base, pin configuration, colour temperature and physical diameter of your existing circular lamp before ordering.
The G10q T5 Circline 32W Warm White fluorescent lamp is commonly used in compatible:
Circline fluorescent lamps provide illumination around the complete ring, helping produce broad and relatively uniform light from a compact fixture.
Circular fluorescent lamps can look very similar while having different diameters, wattages, bases and colour temperatures.
Before ordering, check the markings printed on your existing lamp and physically measure its diameter.
For this product, look for:
32W + G10q + 827 / 2700K + Approx. 270mm
Your old lamp may show markings such as:
32W/827
G10q
32W Circline
2700K
or a manufacturer-specific catalogue number.
The 270mm diameter is particularly important. Do not assume that every 32W circular fluorescent lamp is physically interchangeable.
The 827 colour code identifies the colour characteristics of the fluorescent lamp.
8 = CRI approximately 80+
27 = approximately 2700K colour temperature
Therefore:
827 = CRI 80+ / 2700K Warm White
OSRAM's 32W/827 circline specification, for example, confirms 827, 2700K and CRI 80–89.
This number is particularly useful when identifying an older lamp because 827 may be printed on the fluorescent tube even when “2700K” is not.
This product uses a G10q base.
Please check the connector on your existing circular fluorescent lamp before ordering.
Do not confuse it with a 2GX13 T5 circular fluorescent lamp. 32W/827 T5 circular lamps are also manufactured with 2GX13 bases, but that does not make them interchangeable with a G10q lamp.
For this product, check:
✓ 32W
✓ G10q
✓ 827
✓ 2700K Warm White
✓ Approx. 270mm diameter
Do not select a replacement based only on the circular shape or wattage.
The 827 / 2700K Warm White colour provides a softer, warmer appearance than 3500K or 4000K fluorescent lighting.
It is particularly suitable for:
If maintaining the same light appearance as your existing installation is important, check whether 827 or 2700K appears on the old lamp.
When replacing a circular fluorescent tube, don't rely only on the wattage.
Measure the outside diameter of the complete circular tube and compare it with the approximately 270mm diameter of this lamp.
Also check the base and connector arrangement.
Two circular lamps can both be rated at 32W but have different diameters or base configurations, meaning one may not fit the other's fixture.
If you're unsure whether this 32W G10q 827 270mm circline lamp is the correct replacement, send NZ Lights a clear photo of your existing lamp showing the printed markings, connector/base and overall lamp.
If possible, also provide the outside diameter of the existing circular tube.
We can help identify the correct wattage, base, colour temperature and physical size required for your fitting.
