DETAILED REFERENCE

How to identify and replace Feit Electric BPPL27F/65K

This page documents the Feit Electric BPPL27F/65K, a 27W PL lamp using a 4-pin GX10q-4 base. The catalog record identifies color code 6500K (6,500 K in this catalog record) and 1,450 initial lumens. Manufacturer order code BPPL27F/65K provides another high-value identifier when it is present on the lamp or packaging.

For a replacement decision, use the complete combination of markings rather than one feature. A lamp with the same base can still differ in wattage, keying, color, pin configuration, ballast requirements, or other electrical characteristics.

  4. Check the fixture electronics.Verify ballast/control gear, supply voltage, socket keying, and manufacturer instructions before installing a fluorescent substitute or LED retrofit.
