Is this bulb dimmable?

No, this Philips CFL bulb is not designed for use with dimmer switches. Using it with a dimmer may cause damage.

How long does this bulb typically last?

CFL bulbs offer a significantly longer lifespan compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

What is the physical size of the bulb?

The bulb is approximately 142mm high and 54mm wide.

What type of fitting does this bulb have?

How does this bulb save energy?

It uses Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) technology, which produces light much more efficiently than traditional incandescent bulbs, requiring significantly less power for the same light output.

What should I do if the bulb breaks?

If a CFL bulb breaks, ventilate the room for 15-20 minutes. Carefully sweep up the fragments using stiff paper or cardboard and place them in a sealed container for disposal. Do not vacuum. Wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.

Troubleshooting

Bulb does not turn on

Ensure the power to the light fixture is on and the bulb is screwed in securely. Check if the fixture switch is operational. Confirm compatibility with the fixture (e.g., not a dimmer switch).

Flickering light

Flickering may occur during the initial warm-up period. If flickering persists after full warm-up, ensure the bulb is not loose in the fitting or try a different compatible fixture to rule out fixture issues.

Low light output

Ensure the bulb has reached its full operating temperature. Check that the correct wattage equivalent is expected for the fixture and room size.
