Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the G24q-3 base requires a gentle push-and-twist motion to lock the four pins into the socket. Always ensure the power supply is switched off before removing or inserting the lamp to avoid electrical shock or damage to the ballast. These bulbs should not be used in airtight, non-ventilated enclosures, as heat buildup can significantly reduce the internal electronics' lifespan. For disposal, since the bulb contains trace amounts of mercury, please utilize local hazardous waste collection services rather than general household trash.
