Important Safety Information
To ensure safe operation and prevent damage, please observe the following safety precautions:
- Power Off: Always turn off the power to the fixture at the circuit breaker or fuse box before installing, removing, or cleaning the bulb.
- Indoor Use Only: This bulb is designed for indoor applications. Do not use it in outdoor fixtures or in areas exposed to moisture unless the fixture is specifically rated for such conditions.
- Voltage Compatibility: Ensure the fixture's voltage (120V) matches the bulb's voltage.
- Base Type: Only use this bulb in fixtures designed for a GU24 base. Forcing it into an incompatible socket can cause damage or electrical hazard.
- No Disassembly: Do not attempt to disassemble, modify, or repair the bulb. This can lead to electric shock, fire, or void the warranty.
- Heat: Although LED bulbs run cooler than incandescent bulbs, they still generate some heat. Allow the bulb to cool before handling.
- Disposal: Dispose of the bulb according to local regulations for electronic waste.
Installation Instructions
Follow these steps to properly install your Satco S11540 LED bulb:
- Turn Off Power: Locate the light fixture's power switch and turn it to the OFF position. For added safety, turn off the power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
- Remove Old Bulb (if applicable): If replacing an existing bulb, allow it to cool completely. Then, gently twist the old GU24 bulb counter-clockwise to unlock and remove it from the socket.
- Insert New Bulb: Align the two pins of the Satco S11540 LED bulb with the slots in the GU24 socket. Gently push the bulb into the socket and twist clockwise until it locks securely into place. Do not overtighten.
- Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker or fuse box, then turn on the light switch to test the new bulb.
Operation
Operating your Satco S11540 LED bulb is straightforward:
- Turning On: Activate the light switch connected to the fixture to illuminate the bulb.
- Turning Off: Deactivate the light switch to turn off the bulb.
This bulb is designed for standard on/off functionality. It is not specified as dimmable, so avoid using it with dimmer switches unless explicitly stated otherwise by the manufacturer to prevent damage or malfunction.
