b. Check if the fixture has non-shunted or shunted G18 bi-pin lamp holders. If lamp holders are NON-SHUNTED, refer to wiring diagram A. If lamp holders are SHUNTED, refer to wiring diagram B.

a. Double-Ended Wiring
For NON-SHUNTED lamp holders: Connect one wire to L (LIVE) and the other to N (NEUTRAL). Repeat this for socket on opposite side. Connect both of the wires for one socket to the BLACK wire from your power supply.
Connect both of the wires from opposing socket to the WHITE wire from your power supply.
For SHUNTED lamp holders: Connect one wire to the shunted socket. Repeat this step for socket on opposite side. Connect wire from first socket to the BLACK wire from your power supply. Connect wire from opposing socket to the WHITE wire from your power supply.

Light Distribution Angle

Lighting distribution angle refers to the spread of light emitted from alight source. It is an important factor to consider when selecting a fixture or bulb, as it affects the way it will illuminate an area. There are two main types of lighting distribution angles:
Asymmetric lighting distribution emits light evenly in all directions, creating a cone-shaped pattern that provides a pool of light. This type of lighting is ideal for general lighting and illuminating large areas. Common applications for symmetric lighting include general area illumination, security lighting, and perimeter lighting. Symmetric lighting is also used to a certain degree in up-lighting.

An asymmetric lighting distribution angle, also Known as beam angle, creates a pattern that focuses light in a specific direction. This type of lighting is ideal for task lighting as it reduces glare and light spill in other areas.
Common applications include task lighting in spaces such as landscape settings, retail stores, museums, and much more.
It is important to note that the lighting distribution angle can also be affected by other factors such as the reflector design of the light source, the type of lens used, and the distance between the light source and the surface being illuminated.
