Review on πŸ”† Sylvania 827 18 Fluorescent Replacement: An Effective Upgrade by David Chen

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Hard to find, worth looking for

Replacing those CFLs in my 1980's house wasn't as easy as one might think. My local hardware store didn't have it, Lowes didn't have it ("you're going to have a hard time finding it"). Revain had to search extensively among the many variations of this 4-pin lightbulb to find an article listing that contained an image of three different styles (G24q-1, 2, or 3), only one of which matched. my attachment. I took the model number from that illustration, searched and found a set of 12 bulbs, then a pack of 8 and finally a reasonable set of 4 bulbs to replace the two that had burned out in my ceiling light. The thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of a successful catch! PS - Impressed with the packaging of the bulb, simple but very protective.
