Frequently Asked Questions
What is the color temperature of this bulb, and how does it render in a fixture?
The GE 93130286 produces soft white light, nominally around 2700K. At that color temperature the output has a warm, incandescent-adjacent quality — suitable for residential ambient lighting and hospitality settings where a relaxed, flattering atmosphere is the goal. It is not a daylight-balanced source.
How many lumens does this bulb produce, and what incandescent wattage does it replace?
The bulb outputs 810 lumens at 13 watts. That output is roughly equivalent to a 60-watt standard incandescent lamp, representing approximately a 78% reduction in power consumption for comparable light levels.
What base type does this bulb require, and is it interchangeable with other GX23 bases?
This bulb uses a GX23-2 base, a 2-pin configuration. It is not interchangeable with the standard GX23 base (also 2-pin but with a different pin spacing) or with G23 bases. Confirm your fixture's base specification before purchasing — the pin spacing difference will prevent incorrect installation.
Can this bulb be used with a dimmer switch?
No. Standard CFL bulbs including this GE model are not dimmable unless explicitly labeled as such. Using this bulb on a dimmer circuit will cause flicker, humming, shortened lamp life, and potential failure. Use it only on standard on/off circuits.
What is the rated lifespan of this bulb?
GE rates this bulb at up to 10,000 hours of operation. Under typical residential use patterns (approximately 3 hours per day), that translates to roughly 9 years of service life — significantly longer than a standard incandescent lamp.
