GE 97614 F26TBX/827/A/ECO 26W Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb 2700K

The GE 97614 F26TBX/827/A/ECO is a 26-watt triple-tube compact fluorescent lamp designed for use in fixtures with a GX24q-3 4-pin plug-in base. It produces 1710 initial lumens at a warm 2700K color temperature, delivering the kind of soft, inviting light typically associated with traditional incandescent bulbs while consuming a fraction of the energy. With a CRI of 82, it renders colors with reasonable accuracy for general-purpose applications such as office lighting, retail displays, and residential downlights.

Rated for 12,000 hours of operation, this bulb is built to minimize replacement cycles in high-use environments. The compact T4 triple-tube form factor fits into tight recessed and enclosed fixtures where larger lamps would not work. As part of GE's ECO line, it is manufactured with reduced mercury content, making it a more environmentally conscious choice among CFLs. The 4-pin base design also allows for use with external electronic ballasts, which can further improve efficiency and extend lamp life.
