Compact Fluorescent Lamp

The GX53 is one of the smallest Low Energy lamps available with a diameter of 75mm and a depth of just 25mm.It has an integral ballast that means only the lamp holder is required in a light fitting. The lamp holder type is called ‘GX53’.

Despite its size it produces 9 watts / 13 watts of light which is equivalent to 40 watts / 60 watts from an incandescent lamp.

This means that it consumes 23% of the power to produce the same light.

The GX53 lamp also has the advantage of having an average life span of 8,000 hrs as opposed to 2000 hrs for a normal incandescent lamp.
