Setup, Compatibility & Care
This LED tube is designed for direct mains operation at AC 220-240V. Because it does not support ballast-compatible setups, the existing ballast must be bypassed by a qualified electrician during installation. Before installation, ensure the power is completely disconnected. The tube is constructed from glass and polycarbonate; while durable, it should be handled with care during installation to prevent accidental impact. For routine maintenance, simply wipe the glass surface with a dry or slightly damp non-abrasive cloth to remove dust buildup, ensuring optimal light output.
