Fluorescent bulb Osram FTC13GQ1827/02 — 13 W, 900 lm is a short, compact plug-in fluorescent lamp with double twisted tubes and a G24q-1 four-pin base. Designed for general lighting in residential and commercial fixtures that accept this format, the lamp delivers approximately 900 lumens of consistent white light at 2700 K with a color rendering index around Ra 80. It is intended for use with appropriate electronic control gear and is compatible with electronic ballasts such as QUICKTRONIC for optimal starting and operation.

Advantages

The lamp provides excellent luminous flux relative to its 13 W power consumption, offering energy-efficient illumination and improved maintenance due to a long average life when used with electronic control gear. It produces good light quality with warm white color temperature, and integrates with OSRAM systems for warranty coverage when paired with matching electronic ballasts. Its compact, plug-in design allows quick replacement and stable operation across AC mains, battery or solar systems when suitable control gear is applied.

How to use

Install the lamp only in fixtures that accept G24q-1 plug-in fluorescent lamps and are equipped with compatible electronic ballasts or control gear. Ensure power is switched off before removing an old lamp and inserting the new lamp into the socket until it seats securely. When used with recommended electronic ballasts such as QUICKTRONIC, the lamp achieves rated life and stable starting; verify ballast compatibility with the fixture documentation. For installations on battery or solar systems, use appropriate electronic control gear specified for fluorescent lamps and the intended power source.

Usage recommendations

To maximise service life and light quality, operate the lamp with a compatible electronic ballast and avoid frequent on/off cycling. Replace lamps in matched groups for uniform colour and lumen output in multi-lamp installations. Follow local recycling and disposal regulations for fluorescent lamps due to their content of small amounts of mercury.
