How to identify and replace Philips PL-S 11W/840/4P

This page documents the Philips PL-S 11W/840/4P, a 11W PL-S lamp using a 4-pin 2G7 base. The catalog record identifies color code 840 (4,000 K in this catalog record) and 880 initial lumens. Manufacturer order code 927936684011 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.

MANUFACTURER FAMILY NOTES

Philips MASTER PL-S 4-pin / 2G7 family guidance

These are family-level notes from the manufacturer source. They add operating context for PL-S 11W/840/4P, but they do not turn another lamp in the same family into an automatic substitute.

  • Signify identifies the 4-pin PL-S family with a 2G7 cap-base and states that it is designed for operation on electronic gear.
  • The manufacturer lists dimming capability down to 10% for this 4-pin family and notes that operating conditions and the applied HF control gear influence lamp characteristics.
  • The family covers several wattage and color variants, so 2G7 and four pins alone do not establish interchangeability; match the full wattage, color designation and fixture/control-gear requirements.

Identification checklist

  1. Read the full lamp marking.Look for PL-S 11W/840/4P and order code 927936684011 rather than relying only on the shape.
  2. Confirm the base and pins.This record uses 4-pin 2G7. A similar-looking keyed base or a different pin count should be treated as a different lamp until verified.
  3. Match wattage and color identity.Reference values here are 11W and color code 840. Color codes that look similar can identify different variants.
  4. Check the fixture electronics.Verify ballast/control gear, supply voltage, socket keying, and manufacturer instructions before installing a fluorescent substitute or LED retrofit.

Before buying a replacement

  • Match the exact 2G7 base and 4-pin configuration.
  • Confirm the original 11W rating and the fixture's approved lamp range.
  • Match color code 840 when maintaining the same light color is important.
  • Use order code 927936684011 as a strong cross-check when a seller provides it.
  • For LED conversions, confirm whether the replacement is ballast-compatible, ballast-bypass, or otherwise requires a specific wiring method.

The Replacement Index separates reference specifications from retailer listings. A product appearing for sale does not by itself establish compatibility.
