Tube Lamp (LT848-20-110-00)
Caution:
• This product is to be installed in a dry location only by a qualified electrician according to the
National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and regulations.
• Do not install in dimming circuits or emergency fixtures.
• Do not open this lamp. No user serviceable parts inside.
• These retrofit lamps are only powered from the one end marked “Connect this end to live (powered) end”.
Installation Instructions:
You will need a few feet of 600V 18 Gauge Solid TFF, TFN or AWM wire for this installation. Only this type of solid wire will
work with the push-in wire traps in the lamp holder. This retrofit conversion lamp will not work with shunted sockets, typically
used with “INSTANT START” ballasts. Determine if the fixture has shunted or non-shunted lamp holders. If the fixture uses a
shunted lamp holder, replace it with the non-shunted lamp holder furnished with this lamp. However, not all shunted sockets
have one set of push-in wire traps blanked off. If not sure, check for continuity between the two sets of holes. If there is
continuity, the socket is shunted and needs to be replaced by the included non-shunted socket. There are many different
non-shunted sockets. Some are tall, some are short. Some slide in and some snap in. Some slide and snap in. Others are
screw-down surface mount sockets. It depends on the age and type of fixture. While the included non-shunted lamp holder
will fit most fixtures, it may not fit yours. If it doesn’t, consult your local electrical distributor.
1)
Turn off the power to the light fixture at the circuit breaker panel or fuse before installation.
2) Disconnect the black and white ballast INPUT leads from the 100-277V AC supply wires. Disconnect the ballast from
all lamp sockets by cutting the wires. If a starter is present and protruding from the fixture, cut the wires to the starter
base, but leave the starter in place, so as not to create a potentially unsafe opening in the fixture.
3) Remove the ballast.
4) Cut two lengths of 600V 18 Gauge Solid TFF, TFN or AWM wire long enough to reach from the lamp holder to the
100-277V AC supply wires.
5) Strip 3/8” of insulation from both ends of both leads.
6) Insert one stripped end of each solid wire into each side of the lamp holder.
7) Connect these two wires to the 100-277V AC supply wires using UL listed twist-on wire connectors (wire nuts).
8) All remaining severed wires that are no longer used need to be removed completely or organized and capped off
using UL listed wire nuts so they don’t interfere with the reassembly of the fixture.
9) Insert the end of the retrofit lamp that is marked “Connect this end to live (powered) end” into the non-shunted
lamp holder connected to the supply wires.
10) Check the new connections for structural integrity. This means the wires should not come apart when pulled casually.
11) Affix included adhesive
CAUTION label to the fixture where it will be seen when this retrofit lamp is removed for
replacement. This label warns to not replace this retrofit lamp with a standard fluorescent lamp or any different type
of retrofit lamp other than the TOPAZ lamps listed under the title of this document.
12) Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse.
13) Turn on fixture.
