Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these tubes, ensure your fixture is powered off at the main switch. Align the pins on each end of the tube with the sockets on the fixture and rotate gently until you hear or feel a click, indicating the pins have seated in the contacts. These tubes are specifically designed for T8-compatible ballasts; verify your fixture ballast matches the 15W rating before installation. When cleaning, ensure the tube is cool to the touch and use a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust. Handle with care, as glass tubes can shatter if dropped. When they eventually reach the end of their 20,000-hour lifespan, please dispose of them at a designated hazardous waste or lighting recycling facility rather than placing them in standard trash.
