How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified individual. Before starting, ensure the power supply to the fixture is completely disconnected.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the length of your existing fixture to ensure compatibility with the T8 format.
• Check if your current fixture requires ballast bypass or rewiring.
• Ensure the light color temperature meets your specific application needs.
• Confirm that the fixture is not connected to a dimmer switch.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, ensure the fixture provides adequate ventilation and is not enclosed in a way that traps excessive heat. Regularly clean the surface of the tube with a dry cloth to maintain maximum light output.
