    Change out the four-pin wedge base CFL bulbs in your fixture, or upgrade to LED. Often used in can lights, these bulbs are comparable to PL, Dulux, and Biax bulbs. Select a light appearance to match your existing lighting. If you’re not sure what temperature you need, choose a bulb with more than one light appearance. You can adjust the temperature with a switch.
    LED—LED bulbs last longer and are more efficient than CFL bulbs. You can choose bulbs that work with or without a ballast—some bulbs can do both.
    CFL—CFL bulbs contain small amounts of mercury. For disposal information, visit www.epa.gov/cfl.
    Ballast-Bypass LED—Ballast-bypass bulbs work with sockets that are wired directly to the power source, which cuts down on maintenance. If your fixture has a ballast, you’ll need to remove it.
    Ballast Compatible LED—Ballast-compatible bulbs are a quick replacement for CFL bulbs, since they work with most electronic ballasts. Check if your ballast is compatible by selecting a part number and clicking product detail.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Bulbs cannot be sold to the listed areas because they do not meet local regulations for mercury content or energy efficiency.

    Twin Tube Four-Pin

    Base

    Disinfect air, water, and surfaces without chemical cleaners. These light bulbs use shortwave ultraviolet radiation, also called UV-C, to kill viruses and bacteria. They’re often used in surface cleaning lights, air purifiers, and water treatment systems.
    Ultraviolet radiation can harm your skin and eyes. For safety, install these bulbs in fixtures with UV protection or wear UV-protective gear while using them.
    Rated Life—The length of time these bulbs will effectively kill germs. Replace them after the listed period, even if they still light up.
