inches deep.
Product is not intended to be used with dimmers and emergency light luminaires. This LED T8 tube is not suitable for direct replacement of linear fluorescent lamp in luminalres where the lamps are connected to a ballast. The technical and safety requirements of the converted luminaire are the sole responsibility of the party doing the conversion and shall comply with the local applicable safety and regulatory laws and standards. The provided Warning label should be placed onto the converted luminaire to indicate the luminaire has been modified and can no longer be used with fluorescent lamps.
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO ENSURE CORRECT BRANCH CIRCUIT CONDUCTOR
Install this kit on only luminaires that have the construction features and dimensions shown in the drawings and where the input rating of the retrofit kit does not exceed the input rating of the luminaire.
To prevent wiring damage or abrasion, do not expose wiring edges to sheet
metal or other sharp objects.
Installers should not disconnect existing wires from lamp holder terminals to
make new connections at lamp holder terminals. Instead installers should cut
existing lamp holder leads away from the lamp holder and make new electrical
connection to the lamp holder lead wires by employing applicable connectors
(or replace with new non-shunted lamp holders). THIS RETROFIT KIT IS ACCEPTED
AS A COMPONENT OF A LUMINAIRE WHERE SUITABILITY OF THE COMBINATION SHALL BE
DETERMINED BY THE AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION. Do not make or alter any
open holes in an enclosure of wiring or electrical components during this kit
installation. This lamp operates direct from 120-277V mains.
To reduce risk of misapplication, install the Fuse Kit (BT8-1AFUSEKIT).
WARNING: To avoid potential fire or shock hazard, do not use this retrofit kit in luminaires employing shunted bipin lampholders. Note: Shunted lamp holders are found only in fluorescent luminaires with Instant-Start ballasts. Instant-start ballasts can be identified by the words “Instant Start” or “LS.” marked on the ballast. This designation may be in the form of a statement pertaining to the ballast itself, or may be combined with the marking for the lamps with which the ballast is intended to be used, for example F40T12/1S. For more information, contact the LED luminaire retrofit kit manufacturer.
CAUTION: RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Apply provided re-lamp warning sticker onto the fixture in a location where
readily visible by the user during and after installation
