18 Watt 2 Pin G24d-2 CFL Compact Fluorescent

There are a number of different 18-watt, 2-pin, plug-in CFL G24D2 bulbs available from 1000Bulbs, but they generally produce between 1150 to 1200 lumens and work well for applications such as recessed and surface-mounted downlight fixtures in facilities, offices, restaurants, retail displays and more. Lumens are a measure of brightness, unlike watts, which measure the amount of electricity consumed. A higher wattage does not directly correlate to the amount of light a bulb produces. An 18-watt compact fluorescent bulb is capable of producing as much light as an incandescent bulb that has a much higher wattage, for example.
