Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained maintenance technician in accordance with NEC guidelines. Always de-energize the fixture and verify power is off at the breaker before removing or installing the lamp. Align the bi-pin base with the lamp holder slots, insert fully, and rotate to lock. Do not operate the lamp outside its rated wattage or outside a fixture designed for T8 lamps, as mismatched ballasts can reduce lamp life or cause failure.
