Any recent (June 2014) purchasers can confirm this light takes the 4 pin bulb?

It takes a 2 pin GU24 compact fluorescent bulb. I bought this model back in March 2014.

This model has been redesigned and looks physically different from the older version. The photo on here represents the present version. The photocell is on top instead of the front, the lens/diffuser is shorter and I believe is now whitish instead of clear, and it now takes a GU24 lamp with built-in ballast of maximum 13 watts rather than the previous 13 watt unballasted lamp. I think it was sorta dumb of Cooper to do this without changing the model number, but there it is. They didn't tell me when they made the change but said that the manual referenced on their website would be corrected. As of today it has not been. The link http://www.cooperindustries.com/content/dam/public/lighting/products/documents/consumer_products/instruction_sheets/fe13pc_series_825_0141.pdf points to the manual for the old version. If you look you'll see the noticeable differences in appearance. At the moment it would appear from responses that stocks of both old and new versions exist.

It's a standard 4 pin, inline connector. The wiring of the unit itself is fully insulated into a single cable to each light.

It took two T-8 32 watt bulbs that I bought at Home Depot. I don't know what you mean by Bi pin. If you mean 2 pins at each end , yes they do.

It's been a couple years or more ago. I couldn't get the current equivalent bulb to work, so I just threw out the lamp. I still miss it. Now that Batteries Plus has bulbs, maybe they have it. Just got an odd 1.

No, the model I got came with old 16 pin - however the latest model seem to have the lightening cable compatibility.

My fixture uses four bulbs and there has not been any problem. Wish I could be more informative.

I am pretty sure the socket is connected right to the base, I installed it last year so going by memory. But you may be able to modify it to work. I would check the mfg website and take a look at the details, maybe they have a diagram to view. Great light for the money.

If I remember right there are a total of six pins. In the pic on Amazon it only shows 4. I have had to replace the switch a few times.

Yes two pins on each side - insert bulb into fixture an turn 1/4 to lock into place

If you order the led version of this light it comes with both the bi pin halogen and a bi pin led, both work

My TV had the same problem. I decided it didn't probably matter and bought it. However, Amazon a actually sent me the wrong model of lamp, which didn't fit in the tv. I ended up taking the new lamp apart and putting the bulb itself in the old lamp. It was quite easy, just a few screws. Regardless, I still think the p does not matter, especially because many sites seem to use the two interchangeably. I'd say buy it.

iyour fulbs have a black plastic that kinda hides the pins its an F12 bulb if there are just two pins that stick out then it is a T12 bi-pin or does it just have one large pin on each end . .Also do you have to push the bulb towards one end to get it out that is a T or an F . The 16 bulb package will require the adapters because they are just bi-pin . Hope it helped ya

Hi Pat, The 4 prong connection sounds correct. Your old bulb assy. will have the model and type printed on it. I recommend you replace it with the same.

Hmmm ... a good question. I don't know the exact answer, but I would assume that the reference to G4 pins is a "standard", meaning that these pins are 4mm apart, etc. So, if both the bulbs say G4, then they are probably "pin-compatible".

No, just the two pin holes. I found that the replacement lights wouldn't fit my older light base. I ended up getting the new light and base to match.

No, they have the pin connectors. You could find one at a hardware store, but a little mods (sanding some of the plastic on bulb) may be nessesary. The bulb included is very good though.

You will need to remove the bulb from the lamp and look at the number on the base of the bulb to see which one you have. You have to have the bulb number and the number of pins. There are so many choices that this is the only way you can be sure you get the correct bulb.
