## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come in 15watt**
A: Hello, 15W T8 fluorescents do exist, they can be found by looking up F15T8. Please note, the 15W T8 is 18 inches long. Additionally, you will need to confirm that the ballast igniting the bulbs can take 15W lamps, this information should be indicated on the sticker on the ballast that will tell you what lamps and in what configurations can be lit up by the ballast. Thank you!

**Q: Can this be an alternative bulb for the f17t8/dx 17 watt bulb?**
A: Yes

**Q: What does the 2K next to the Hg symbol represent? Is identical to the one I am looking for except mine has 4F.**
A: It is most likely their production codes.  As long as the "F" number matches, that is what matters.

**Q: I does the bulb get hot?**
A: No, the bulb does not get hot.

Good

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great bulb
*by S***S on February 15, 2025*

I used this to replace the light above my sink, this was one of those ones you have to twist and pull. Anyone on here who doesn’t know what they’re doing there’s a number on the bulb (take it off first, remember twist and pull) check for a very small number and that’s what you’re replacing. This bulb is great and lasts literally freaking forever. Great value.
