G10Q connector like the one on the OEM florescent lamp?

That's what's in use now, a GE FC8T9 - D (daylight) 22W. So that connection should match up.

Bill, I read through many of the reviews. It seems fairly straight forward and worth a try. Since the wife uses this in her lap I suspect the 2700k clear will work the best, in lieu of 4000k clear/frosted or 6000k clear/frosted. Maybe a visit to Lowes is next before ordered just to compare brightness.

2700K = Warm white
4000K = Daylight
6000K = So fricking white that it melts skin!! Appears as blue to most eyes.

Whether the glass envelope is clear or frosted will not make a difference in the lamp temperature (see above). Lumens are the difference in brightness.

I forgot to report back.... I had to do some minor mods to the lamp cover but all went as planned and the wife's happy with the LED circle lamp replacement. Me too, $40 total instead of $340. She decided she wanted the 6000K based on some reading. Scoots you are right; too bright for me but seems ok for her.

You'll get a kick out of this. After removing the ballast and rewiring the lamp I must have caused a short when attempting to see if the original wire cover would fit. It tripped a breaker without me knowing it. I spent a good hour or so trying to figure out why the lamp wouldn't light. I even disconnected the on/off switch so it should have been on all the time. Messed around with test leads etc. Finally, I stuck my probes into the wall socket - no voltage. No voltage, no light. Flipped the breaker and I saw the

Dave just stick your tongue across the terminals.
You'll know right away.








no not really.
