how to identify an 11 W G23 rangehood lamp
match the full rangehood model, existing lamp and control-gear requirements before arranging an owner-permitted lamp change. the supply is one Philips MASTER PL-S 2P 11W/827 lamp: keyed G23 two-pin base, 2700 K warm white and about 236 mm long.
it needs compatible electromagnetic ballast gear. the holder and control gear are not supplied. this guide identifies the lamp; it does not explain the old-lamp release or replacement seating.

scope: RH600SO 87533/87534 uses a different original 40 W arrangement. do not select by socket alone, substitute an led or alter wiring. use the exact manual's lamp-release method and hold the base, not the glass.
steps
- check the hood and lamp requirements
check the full model, version or product code in the compatibility checker. use the manual or an old-lamp marking that is already safely accessible. confirm G23 two-pin 11 W, the central key and approximate length; socket shape alone is insufficient.
- isolate before permitted access
switch off, disconnect the hood and let the lamp cool. do not open a cover without its documented owner-access method or remove an electrical enclosure.
- keep the lamp arrangements separate
RH600SO 87533/87534 has a different original 40 W arrangement. do not substitute an led, change wiring or infer suitable ballast from a matching socket. do not pull or twist the lamp to discover how its holder releases.
- get the exact change method
obtain the hood's lamp-release and seating instructions or arrange service. when a correctly identified lamp is handled under those instructions, hold its base rather than forcing the glass or holder. the cover must be secure before power returns. persistent darkness or flickering needs a holder/control-gear check by a technician.
