Will this fit my fixture?
Replacing an identical existing 18W G24Q-2 4-pin Dulux D/E lamp is straightforward once power is off. This lamp needs electronic control gear (ECG), not magnetic — confirm your fitting's gear type before ordering, and use an electrician for new installations.

FAQ
-
Will this fit my fixture?
If your existing lamp is a G24Q-2 4-pin Dulux D/E at 18W on electronic gear, this is a direct swap.
-
How is this different from the Dulux D 18W?
The plain D version has a 2-pin G24d-2 base and runs on magnetic gear only; this D/E version has a 4-pin base, runs on electronic control gear, and can be dimmed on compatible ECG.
-
Can I dim this lamp?
Yes, down to around 3% on dimmable electronic control gear — it won't dim on standard non-dimmable ECG.
-
Which colour temperature should I choose?
830 (Warm White) for hospitality, 840 (Cool White) for offices, 865 (Daylight) for task-focused commercial areas.
