Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, you must physically disconnect or remove the existing ballast, capacitor, and igniter from the fixture circuitry. Operating this LED lamp with the original magnetic or electronic ballast will cause immediate failure and potential fire hazards.
Installation Steps:
- Turn off the main circuit breaker to the fixture.
- Open the light housing and remove the metal halide ballast/igniter components.
- Wire the G12 socket directly to the incoming 230V AC mains power.
- Insert the Bailey LED lamp into the G12 base.
- Ensure there is adequate air circulation around the lamp to prevent heat buildup.
Care: Keep the lamp clean by gently wiping the surface with a dry, lint-free cloth when the bulb is cold. Never use chemical cleaners on the lens.
