DETAILED REFERENCE

How to identify and replace Philips TL-E 32W/830

This page documents the Philips TL-E 32W/830, a 32W TL-E lamp using a 4-pin G10q base. The catalog record identifies color code 830 (3,000 K in this catalog record) and 2,375 initial lumens. Manufacturer order code 928026383070 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 TL-E Circular Super 80 / G10q family guidance

These notes come from manufacturer documentation for TL-E 32W/830 or its documented product family. They provide identification and operating context, not an automatic substitution claim.

  • Signify describes this as a circular fluorescent family with a 29 mm tube and four-pin G10q cap-base.
  • The circular geometry provides omnidirectional light distribution; listed applications include decorative luminaires, schools, offices, shops, homes and residential-area lighting.
  • The family spans multiple diameters/wattages and color codes. Match the complete TL-E marking, wattage, color code and fixture/control-gear requirements; G10q alone is not a replacement decision.
  • Manufacturer product records for the indexed Super 80 variants list dimmable operation, but dimming still depends on the installed control gear and fixture.

Identification checklist

  1. Read the full lamp marking.Look for TL-E 32W/830 and order code 928026383070 rather than relying only on the shape.
  2. Confirm the base and pins.This record uses 4-pin G10q. 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 32W and color code 830. 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 G10q base and 4-pin configuration.
  • Confirm the original 32W rating and the fixture's approved lamp range.
  • Match color code 830 when maintaining the same light color is important.
  • Use order code 928026383070 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.
