OSRAM DULUX D 18 LED lamp for G24D-2 base, 7 watt, 640 lumen, warm white (3000K), rotatable, replacement for conventional 18W Dulux lamp

Took me a while to get the old fluorescent tube out. It was an old IKEA one at least 15 maybe 20 years old and giving out a sort of yellow light. This new one clipped in with nice crisp click and gave out good bright white light. Perfect for electronics and soldering small components. Fully recommended.

These replace the 28w cfl ‘s and are about 3000k so a good light.Essentially the old fluorescents dim by 20% over the years and our fittings were a big hole in the ceiling so these were an easy retrofit.The actual lamp style is I guess obsolescent so these may be hard to get before too long. I will buy more

It's probably a great bulb but it doesn't fit the equivalent fluo G23 socket and I had to return it.

Ideal replacement for old fluorescent tube based light, of the wattage mentioned in the item description. If I'd picked the warm colour, it would be exactly the same.

Replaced CFL bulb. This LED fitted perfectly and starts in an instance as far as the naked eye is concerned. In my application it’s connected to a PIR so it’s on/off quite a lot. Far brighter too & I’ve no reason to doubt it’s longevity.

These were a straight swap for the original bulbs (I didn't need to bypass the ballast), although they were quite a tight fit so might not be OK for all units. They're also significantly brighter than the low-energy bulbs they replaced, and although this is obviously a matter of personal preference, I prefer the colour-temperature of these.

Great value for money

This said it was suitable for a G24q-base in our 18W 4 pin fluorescent light but it didn’t really click in. Quite expensive given that fact and, also, it’s my bad for not noticing but it only shines the light in one direction so looks a bit odd. The light it does shine is a nice warm colour and the solid shell feels more high-end than our previous one (which had a flimsy and smashable outer), though as I said it doesn’t really fit. I can’t comment on the energy efficiency as we don’t use it often (in the guest room, so I’d imagine it’d be quite low on costs!), but I probably wouldn’t buy it unless your lamp fixing is horizontal so the light can shine evenly downward, vs on one side of a pendant bulb attachment.
