GU24 Compact Fluorescent Option

Most of our fixtures can be built with a click-and-twist GU24 pin-based socket for use with our GU24-base compact fluorescent light bulbs. This two-pin hardwired compact fluorescent option is ideal for customers who want to make a permanent switch to energy efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs. Traditional screw-in base bulbs will not work with this configuration. This option will satisfy most energy efficient lighting codes and/or tax incentive requirements, such as California's Title 24. Unlike old, clunky hardwired compact fluorescent socket and ballast configurations, the new GU24 twist-and-lock socket design easily allows the user to quickly insert or remove compact fluorescent light bulbs of different wattage with one universal pin base. Please note that most compact fluorescent light bulbs do not work properly on a dimmer and that fixtures built with a GU24 socket cannot be used with incandescent or specialty light bulbs.
