Philips CorePro LED PLC 8.9W 830 2P G24d-3 KVG/VVG | Energy-Saving Plug-In LED Lamp

Replacing conventional CFL plug-in lamps often means compromising on light quality or dealing with frequent replacements. The Philips CorePro LED PLC 8.9W 830 2P G24d-3 solves this by delivering warm, high-quality light with a long lifespan and significant energy savings, all in a familiar plug-in form factor. Designed as a direct retrofit for existing fixtures with magnetic ballasts, it eliminates the hassle of rewiring while cutting energy consumption by up to 66% compared to a 26W CFL.

Who is it for

This lamp is ideal for commercial and residential applications where G24d-3 2-pin CFL lamps are currently in use. It suits hotels, offices, retail spaces, corridors, and downlights that require reliable, warm-white illumination with minimal maintenance. Facility managers and homeowners looking to upgrade to LED without replacing entire fixtures will appreciate its straightforward installation.

Main features

• Direct retrofit for 26W CFL lamps with G24d-3 2-pin base and magnetic ballast (KVG/VVG) – no rewiring needed.
• Warm white light (3000K) with a high colour rendering index (>80) for natural, comfortable illumination.
• Long lifetime of up to 30,000 hours (L70B50), reducing replacement frequency and maintenance costs.
• Instant full light output with a start-up time under 0.5 seconds – no flicker or warm-up delay.
