Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on.
Check that the tube is correctly seated in the G13 fittings. Verify that power is supplied to the fixture. If wired for direct mains, double-check the wiring connections. If used with a ballast, ensure the ballast is functional.
Flickering light.
This could indicate a faulty ballast if used in conjunction with one. Consider bypassing the ballast for direct mains operation or replacing the ballast. Ensure the tube is fully seated.
Reduced brightness.
Confirm the voltage supply is within the 220-240V range. Ensure the tube is clean and free of dust accumulation. Check for any potential obstructions in the fixture that might be affecting heat dissipation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This LED tube light is designed for direct replacement of traditional T8 fluorescent tubes with a G13 cap. It is suitable for operation with electromagnetic gears (CCG) or can be wired for direct mains operation (220-240V). Always ensure power is switched off before installation or maintenance. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about wiring.

- Ballast: Can be used with existing electromagnetic ballasts or wired for direct mains connection, bypassing the ballast.
Care:
- Cleaning: To clean the tube, ensure it is switched off and cool. Wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the fixture to prevent overheating, although LED technology runs cooler than traditional fluorescent lamps.
