  • Always turn off power to the fixture at the circuit breaker before attempting installation or removal.
  • Allow the old bulb to cool completely before handling.
  • Do not use excessive force when inserting or removing the bulb.
  • Handle the bulb by its plastic base, not the glass tubes.

Installation Steps:

  1. Verify Compatibility: Ensure your fixture is designed for a 4-Pin GX24q3 base CFL bulb.
  2. Turn Off Power: Locate the circuit breaker controlling the light fixture and switch it to the "OFF" position.
  3. Remove Old Bulb (if applicable): Carefully grasp the base of the old bulb and gently pull it straight out from the socket.
  4. Insert New Bulb: Align the 4 pins on the base of the Sunlite CFL bulb with the corresponding slots in the fixture's socket. Gently push the bulb straight into the socket until it is firmly seated. Do not twist.
  5. Restore Power: Once the bulb is securely installed, return the circuit breaker to the "ON" position.

Operating Instructions

Operating the Sunlite CFL Plug-in PLT 4-Pin Triple Tube Light is straightforward.

  2. Activate: Use the standard wall switch or fixture control to turn the light on. The bulb will illuminate immediately.
  3. Power Off: Use the same wall switch or fixture control to turn the light off.

Note: CFL bulbs may take a few moments to reach full brightness, especially in colder environments. This is normal operation.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Sunlite CFL Plug-in PLT 4-Pin Triple Tube Light.
