Important Considerations Before Installation:

  • Bypass Existing HID Ballast: The existing HID ballast in your fixture must be bypassed before installing this LED lamp. Failure to do so can damage the lamp and void the warranty.
  • Verify Fixture Size: Ensure the physical dimensions of your fixture can accommodate the lamp (4.52 x 4.52 x 13.19 inches).
  • Operating Temperature: The lamp is designed to operate within a temperature range of -40°F to +130°F (-40°C to +54°C).
  • Environmental Suitability: Suitable for indoor and outdoor use in dry applications only. Not suited for outdoor fixtures with air vents that expose the lamp directly to water/humidity. Should not be directly exposed to water/humidity.

Installation Steps:

  1. Power Off: Before beginning any installation, ensure the power to the fixture is completely turned off at the circuit breaker.
  2. Remove Old Lamp: Carefully remove the existing HID lamp from the fixture.
  3. Bypass Ballast: Follow proper electrical safety procedures to bypass the existing HID ballast. This typically involves rewiring the fixture to connect the lamp holder directly to the main power supply (120V/277V). If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
  4. Install LED Lamp: Screw the Sylvania 75156 LED lamp into the medium base (E26) lamp holder until snug. Do not overtighten.
  5. Restore Power: Once the lamp is securely installed and the ballast is bypassed, restore power to the fixture.
