This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your Satco S2401 Halogen Excel Light Bulb. Please read these instructions carefully before installation and retain them for future reference. The Satco S2401 is a 29-watt, 120-volt halogen light bulb designed for indoor use, featuring an E26 base and A19 shape, providing 430 lumens of cool white light at 2900 Kelvin.

2. Safety Information

• Always turn off power to the fixture and allow the bulb to cool before replacing.
• Do not exceed the maximum wattage rating of your fixture.
• Avoid touching the bulb with bare hands during installation or removal, as oils can reduce bulb life. Use a clean cloth or glove.

• Dispose of used bulbs according to local regulations.

3. Installation

Follow these steps to properly install your Satco S2401 Halogen Excel Light Bulb:

1. Ensure Power is Off: Before beginning, locate the light switch or circuit breaker controlling the fixture and turn off the power. This prevents electrical shock.
2. Remove Old Bulb (if applicable): If replacing an existing bulb, carefully unscrew it counter-clockwise from the socket. Allow it to cool if it was recently in use.
3. Prepare New Bulb: Remove the new Satco S2401 bulb from its packaging. It is recommended to handle the bulb by its base or with a clean cloth to avoid transferring oils from your skin to the glass, which can shorten bulb life.
4. Insert New Bulb: Align the E26 screw base of the new bulb with the socket in the fixture. Gently screw the bulb clockwise into the socket until it is snug. Do not overtighten.
5. Restore Power: Once the bulb is securely installed, turn the power back on at the light switch or circuit breaker.
6. Test: Turn on the light switch to confirm the bulb is functioning correctly.
