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
- Read the full lamp marking.Look for TL-E 32W/830 and order code 928026383070 rather than relying only on the shape.
- 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.
- Match wattage and color identity.Reference values here are 32W and color code 830. Color codes that look similar can identify different variants.
- Check the fixture electronics.Verify ballast/control gear, supply voltage, socket keying, and manufacturer instructions before installing a fluorescent substitute or LED retrofit.
