Important: Manufacturer references are provided as a replacement guide. Always confirm the wattage, base, pin configuration and physical dimensions of your existing lamp before ordering.
The GR10q 2D 38W 4-pin fluorescent lamp is commonly used in compatible:
Commercial ceiling fittings
Bulkhead lights
Hallways and corridors
Stairwell lighting
Emergency lighting
Apartment and body-corporate common areas
Offices
Retail environments
Schools and public buildings
Utility areas
Commercial washrooms
Wall-mounted fittings
Enclosed exterior fittings
The higher 38W output makes this lamp particularly useful in larger fittings and applications requiring more illumination than lower-wattage 16W, 21W or 28W 2D lamps.
Before ordering, check the markings printed on your existing 2D fluorescent lamp.
For this product, look for:
38W + 835 + GR10q + 4-Pin
You may also find markings such as:
38W/835/4P
PL-Q 38W/835/4P
LYNX-QE 38W GR10Q 835
or another manufacturer's equivalent model number.
The 835 colour code identifies the lamp's colour characteristics.
8 = CRI approximately 80+
35 = approximately 3500K colour temperature
Therefore:
835 = CRI 80+ / 3500K White
3500K produces a balanced white appearance between warmer 3000K lighting and cooler 4000K fluorescent lighting.
This product uses a GR10q 4-pin base.
Please check the base of your existing lamp carefully before ordering.
A similar-looking 2D fluorescent lamp with a different wattage or pin configuration is not automatically interchangeable, even if the overall square shape looks similar.
For this product, check:
✓ 38W
✓ GR10q
✓ 4-Pin
✓ 835 / 3500K
Also check the physical size of the lamp, particularly when replacing lower-wattage 2D lamps, as 38W 2D lamps are physically larger than many lower-wattage versions.
Do not choose a replacement based only on appearance.
The 835 / 3500K White colour provides a balanced light appearance suitable for many commercial and general-purpose applications.
Common applications include:
Commercial interiors
Corridors
Stairwells
Apartment common areas
Offices
Retail environments
Public buildings
Utility areas
General-purpose ceiling lighting
If maintaining the same light colour as your existing installation is important, check whether 835 or 3500K is printed on your old lamp.
