Safety Information

• Electrical Hazard: Always disconnect power to the fixture before installing, removing, or servicing the bulb. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or personal injury.
• Heat: Light bulbs generate heat. Allow the bulb to cool completely before handling. Do not touch the bulb with bare hands when it is operating or immediately after it has been turned off.
• Voltage Compatibility: Ensure the fixture's voltage matches the bulb's voltage (12 Volts). Using an incorrect voltage can damage the bulb or the fixture and poses a fire risk.
• Proper Disposal: Dispose of used bulbs according to local regulations.
• Dimmable Feature: This bulb is dimmable. Ensure your dimmer switch is compatible with low-voltage xenon bulbs.

Setup and Installation

1. Turn Off Power: Locate the power switch or circuit breaker controlling the light fixture and turn it off. Verify that the power is off before proceeding.
2. Remove Old Bulb (if applicable): Carefully remove the existing bulb from the fixture. If the old bulb is hot, wait for it to cool down.
3. Insert New Bulb: Gently insert the Bulbrite FEX5/12 festoon bulb into the fixture's socket. Festoon bulbs typically have contacts on both ends that fit into spring-loaded terminals. Ensure a secure connection without forcing the bulb.
4. Restore Power: Once the bulb is securely in place, restore power to the fixture.
5. Test: Turn on the light switch to confirm the bulb is functioning correctly.

Troubleshooting

• Bulb Does Not Light:
  • Check if the power switch or circuit breaker is on.
  • Ensure the bulb is securely seated in the fixture's socket.
