are the 2 pin push-in fluorescent bulbs an a appropriate substitute for the 2 pin coil in a reading lamp?

If both the two different lamps are each fluorescent, of approximately the same wattage/lumens and have exactly the same base and as long as the curved tube physically fits the shade space, the probability it would work fine is very high. I would only wonder if the new curved tube type bulb you are asking about might stick out of the shade further and cast more light to the sides of the shade which might be aesthetically unappealing.

Hi! I am not sure. I took my old bulb out of the socket and searched on Amazon using the numbers/letters on the side of the bulb to find this one.

Yes. I have two of these and I like them a lot. Great for rv reading lights

We have been using an old fashioned 3-way bulb (50-100-150) and it works very well. The "curly" fluorescent bulbs don't seem to work with this lamp.

A 27 W Quad Tube Fluorescent can be used with this lamp. It's just easy to buy. I had mine from here and it works just great so far Triangle Bulbs T50026 - FML27/65K, 27 Watt, 6500K Natural Daylight, 4-pin GX10q-4 Base, FML Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

I use a cfl and it works fine. I think the "traditional" bulb for this lamp is more indirect, but the socket is a standard size, so you should be able to screw anything into it.

If you have a lamp that accepts this type of bulb you don't need a screw-in ballast. Your lamp should have a label on it somewhere that describes the type of bulb it accepts.

If the socket in your lite fixture has (2) holes at the base, much like a fluorescent fixture, then you need the proper bulbs with (2) pins at the base or a adapter which has (2) pins at the base & a regular screw in socket cavity.

The pins are loops that extend toward the outside edge of the bulb right. The inside distance between the pins is 5mm or 1/2 a cm.

You must rewire your fixture to use LED lamps in place of fluorescent lamps. If you're handy with electrical installations, this is a pretty simple task. You remove the existing ballasts and run 120v directly to the end or ends of the LEDs. The quick connect fittings in my old fluorescent fixtures made this especially easy since the 'tombstones' which provide mounting and power for the lamps had quick connect fittings. Note that the lamps I received required the hot (black) wire to one end and the neutral (white) wire to the other end of each lamp. I was able to do this easily using existing wires in my fixture with a wire cutter/stripper. I'm VERY happy with the results and would certainly do it again. You don't have to physically remove the ballasts but I did and recycled them

I rebuilt a hanging lamp with this setup. It should be fine. It's got one of those roller switches on it if you're ok with those.

Yes.. this is a standard CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) but way over priced. Try Home Depot or Loews!

I just had a reading lamp so if the number of the lamp is the same as I purchased. I would say it should work in your reading lamp. If it is the touch kind like mine was.

Agreed with other answers. These are not "drop in" replacements for fluorescent bulbs. You need to re-wire the fixtures to remove the ballast. There should be a diagram included with the bulb. Note - once re-wired, the standard fluorescent bulbs won't work (they would need the ballasts re-installed.)

Yes. Since it is operated by a 120v on-off switch you can use the compact fluorescent bulb.

Don't know about that particular bulb but it has a two pin socket. Lights a 12'x24' room quite well with LED bulbs.

I used this as a replacement for a reading lamp. I don't know if it is compatible with security lights, but if the stock numbers mesh than you should be good to go.

indexed pins are for 2 pin bottom turn/brake light bulbs. These are single function like the 1156 lamps .
