3. Setup and Installation

1. Power Disconnection: Before beginning installation, ensure the power supply to the fixture is turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
2. Fixture Compatibility: Verify that your lighting fixture is designed for 2G11 base fluorescent lamps and can accommodate a 40W lamp.
3. Lamp Insertion: Carefully align the four pins of the 2G11 base on the SATCO S8667 lamp with the corresponding slots in the fixture's lamp holder. Gently push the lamp into the holder until it is securely seated. Do not force the lamp, as this may cause damage.

5. Testing: Turn on the light switch to confirm proper operation of the lamp.

Note: If replacing an existing lamp, allow the old lamp to cool completely before removal. Grasp the old lamp firmly and pull it straight out from the base to avoid bending the pins.

4. Operating Instructions

The SATCO S8667 lamp operates by simply applying power to the compatible fixture. Once installed, turn on the light switch to illuminate the lamp. This lamp is designed for use with instant-start or rapid-start electronic ballasts. Refer to your fixture's specifications for ballast type compatibility.

The SATCO S8667 is a dimmable lamp. If your fixture and ballast are compatible with dimming functionality, the lamp's brightness can be adjusted using a suitable dimmer switch. Ensure the dimmer is specifically rated for fluorescent lamps to prevent damage or improper operation.

Cleaning:

To maintain optimal light output, periodically clean the lamp surface. Ensure the power is off and the lamp is cool before cleaning. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the lamp. Do not use liquid cleaners, abrasive materials, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the lamp's surface or internal components.

Lamp Replacement:

The average rated life of the SATCO S8667 lamp is 20,000 hours. When the lamp reaches the end of its operational life or fails, replace it by following the installation steps outlined in Section 3. Always ensure the power is disconnected before replacing the lamp.
