G E Lighting 97571 13W Cfl Biax 2-pin Compact Fluorescent Bulb

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 97571 is a 13-watt CFL plug-in Biax compact fluorescent replacement bulb designed for commercial and residential lighting fixtures that accept a GX23 2-pin base. Running at 13 watts, it delivers 825 lumens at a 4,100 Kelvin color temperature, producing a neutral cool-white light suited to offices, retail spaces, and utility areas. The rated lamp life is 10,000 hours, reducing maintenance intervals in high-use installations. With a CRI of 82, this lamp renders colors accurately enough for task and ambient lighting applications. It carries an Energy Star rating and meets TCLP compliance standards, making it appropriate for facilities with regulated waste disposal requirements.

This bulb fits fixtures designed around the GX23 2-pin base, commonly found in under-cabinet lights, wall sconces, desk lamps, and commercial troffer or downlight housings. The nominal lamp length of 7 inches should be verified against the fixture cavity before installation. It is suited for both new installation and direct replacement of existing 13-watt Biax-style lamps in the same base configuration. The minimum starting temperature of 32 degrees F makes it appropriate for unconditioned spaces such as garages, stairwells, and storage rooms that stay at or above freezing.
