Ledvance Dulux LED D/E26 Value 10W G24q-3 4-Pin PL Lamp
The Ledvance Dulux LED D/E26 Value is a 10W LED replacement for 26W 4-pin compact fluorescent (PL-C / Dulux D/E) lamps with a G24q-3 base. It plugs into the same lamp holder and runs either on a compatible electronic ballast (ECG) or directly on 230V mains, cutting energy use while giving instant, flicker-free light. It is widely used in downlights and wall or ceiling fittings in offices, corridors, hotels and retail spaces.
Is this the right one for me?
- Choose this lamp if your fitting currently takes a 26W 4-pin CFL marked D/E, PL-C or G24q-3.
- Check the base: a 4-pin base (G24q-3) is correct. If your old lamp has 2 pins (G24d-3), it is a different lamp and this one will not fit.
- Check your ballast: if the fitting has an electronic ballast, confirm it is on Ledvance's ECG compatibility list. If you want to run the lamp directly on mains, the fitting must be rewired to bypass the ballast, which is a job for a licensed electrician.
- Make sure the fitting has room for a lamp 163 mm long. The base rotates ยฑ90ยฐ so you can aim the light after installation.

FAQ
Will it fit my existing 26W PL-C lamp holder?
Yes, if the holder is G24q-3 (4-pin). It will not fit 2-pin G24d-3 holders, which are used with lamps that have a built-in starter.
Do I need to remove the ballast?
No, if your fitting has a compatible electronic ballast โ just swap the lamp, no electrician needed. To run it directly on mains, the fitting must be rewired to bypass the ballast; this should be done by a licensed electrician.
Does it work with a magnetic (conventional) ballast?
Ledvance lists this lamp for electronic ballast or direct mains operation only. Fittings with magnetic ballasts need converting to mains operation first.
Is it dimmable?
No. Do not use it on a dimmer circuit or in emergency lighting fittings.
Which colour temperature should I choose?
3000K Warm White suits hotels, homes and restaurants. 4000K Cool White suits offices and shops. 6500K Cool Daylight gives the brightest, crispest light for corridors, car parks and back-of-house areas.
