Fluorescent-style LED tube Osram DULUX L18 HF V 8W 840 2G11 4000K 1000 lm

Osram DULUX L18 HF V is an 8W tubular LED lamp with a 2G11 base that delivers about 1000 lumens at a neutral white color temperature of 4000K. Engineered as a direct replacement for compact fluorescent lamps in 2G11 fixtures, this LED tube offers general-purpose illumination suitable for commercial and communal spaces. The compact fluorescent-style form factor and 2G11 connector allow straightforward retrofit into existing housings designed for HF electronic ballast configurations.

Advantages

This LED tube reduces energy consumption compared with traditional compact fluorescent lamps while maintaining similar light output and color rendering. It provides instant start performance without warm-up delay and operates at a neutral white 4000K that supports visual tasks and accurate color perception. The compact tubular design and standard 2G11 base make replacement simple and minimize installation time in compatible fixtures.

Suitable for

• Office general lighting
• Retail and shop floors
• Corridors and stairwells
• Utility rooms and service areas
• Retrofit projects replacing 2G11 compact fluorescent lamps

Key specifications

• Rated power: 8 W
• Luminous flux: approximately 1000 lm
• Color temperature: 4000 K (neutral white)
• Base type: 2G11 (4-pin)
• Form factor: tubular, compact fluorescent-style

How to use

Before installation, disconnect mains power to the fixture. Remove the existing compact fluorescent lamp from the 2G11 socket and insert the Osram DULUX L18 HF V into the same 2G11 holder, ensuring firm seating of the pins. This lamp is intended for direct replacement in fittings designed for electronic HF ballasts; follow equipment manufacturer guidance regarding ballast compatibility and, if required, any conversion to a bypassed wiring configuration. After insertion, restore power and verify proper operation and orientation.

Recommendations

Use this LED tube in indoor environments with ambient temperatures within the fixture's specified range and in dry or normally ventilated spaces. For optimal lifetime and light output, avoid frequent on/off switching where possible and ensure the fixture provides adequate heat dissipation. Confirm compatibility with the existing ballast or wiring; when in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
