## Description

Philips 18 Watt 120 Volt PL-L 4-Pin (2G11) Base 3,000K Single Tube Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

Review: Philips Fluorescent Light Bulb - Works perfectly! No problems! Nice and bright.
Review: Dollar Saving Replacement for OttLite - This bulb is a substitute for a bulb that burned out on my OttLite floor lamp. OttLite wanted $25.00 for similar type bulb and this light was about $8.50 on Prime. Even with photos it was a challenge figuring exact dimensions and although both are 18 watt my Ott bulb number was 9525, which doesn't match any numbers of the Phillips, plus I have a lamp from 2000 which is discontinued and bulb numbers on current models don't correlate to the 9525. I measured the base fitting, bulb and prongs that stick into the lamp and hoped for the best. It is perfect and it seems even brighter than the Ott bulb.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what actual length is this bulb (package dimensions are the only dimensions)?**
A: The exposed glass section of each bulb is 7 1/2 inches long.  They fit into sockets that are 1 inch deep.  Therefore the total length of the complete bulb assembly is 8 1/2 inches long.  This measurement does not include the four prongs extending out the back of the sockets that are plugged into the power source.

**Q: Is there a difference in function between a blue light and this warm light for a bug zapper?**
A: You need a black light (uv) for a bug zapper. A warm light, like this particular one, is like normal light from a lamp.

**Q: Can it be used instead of the Ottlite 18w 930m?**
A: yes it can but its the wrong color, this bulb is very yellow and the ottlite is bright white Full Spectrum

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dollar Saving Replacement for OttLite
*by G***E on September 5, 2018*

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not as good as the original Bulb
*by M***T on April 5, 2020*

Although the new bulb fit perfectly, same size dimension and boasted bright light, the truth is it puts off a yellow light and not the bright white from the last bulb. I would go back to the original given the chance. Guess that what I get trying to save a couple of dollars.
