Abstract: We prove a concordance version of the 4-dimensional light bulb theorem for $p{i}_1$-negligible compact orientable surfaces, where there is a framed but not necessarily embedded dual sphere. That is, we show that if $F_0$ and $F_1$ are such surfaces in a 4-manifold $X$ that are homotopic and there exists an immersed framed 2-sphere $G$ in $X$ intersecting $F_0$ geometrically once, then $F_0$ and $F_1$ are concordant if and only if their Freedman-Quinn invariant $mathopfq$ vanishes. The proof of the main result involves computing $mathopfq$ in terms of intersections in the universal covering space and then applying work of Sunukjian in the simply-connected case.
