FAQ

GU24 technology may be energy efficient, but is it reliable?

While GU24 sounds like a brand-new technology, it's not "cutting edge."

In fact, the EPA and the Department of Energy endorse the GU24 system, and lighting manufacturers are already designing compatible lighting.

The main difference between the GU24 base and other socket systems is in the way that bulbs connect to fixtures.

The purpose of this simple system is to prevent inefficient incandescent bulbs from being used in GU24 fixtures, thus maximizing the energy-efficiency of the lighting.
