3. Setup and Installation

1. Verify Power: Ensure the power supply to the light fixture is turned off at the circuit breaker or wall switch.
2. Unpack Bulb: Carefully remove the Philips 22316 bulb from its packaging. Avoid touching the glass with bare hands, as oils can reduce bulb life.
3. Inspect Fixture: Check the light fixture for any damage or wear. Ensure it is clean and dry.
