4. Setup and Installation (Ballast Bypass)

This LED lamp operates on a ballast bypass system, meaning the existing ballast must be removed or bypassed, and the lamp wired directly to the main voltage supply. Professional installation is recommended.

  1. Turn Off Power: Locate the circuit breaker controlling the fixture and turn off the power supply. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
  2. Remove Existing Lamp: Carefully remove the old fluorescent lamp from the fixture.
  3. Bypass/Remove Ballast:
    • Open the fixture to access the wiring compartment.
    • Disconnect all wires leading to and from the existing ballast.
    • Remove the ballast from the fixture.
    • Rewire the fixture to provide direct AC line voltage to the lamp holders. For a 2G11 base, ensure the live (L) and neutral (N) wires are connected to the appropriate pins on the lamp holder. Refer to the fixture's wiring diagram or consult a qualified electrician.
  4. Install LED Lamp: Insert the SATCO S9950 LED lamp into the 2G11 lamp holder, ensuring it is securely seated.
  5. Restore Power: Close the fixture cover and restore power at the circuit breaker.
  6. Test: Turn on the light switch to confirm proper operation.

Note: This lamp is designed for single-ended power input. Ensure wiring is configured correctly for the 2G11 base.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the SATCO S9950 LED light bulb operates like any standard light source. Simply use the wall switch or fixture control to turn the light on or off.

  • Ensure the power supply is within the specified voltage range (120-277V).
  • Avoid frequent on/off cycling, though LED lamps are generally robust to this.

6. Maintenance

The SATCO S9950 LED light bulb requires minimal maintenance.

  • Cleaning: Before cleaning, ensure the power is off and the lamp is cool. Wipe the frosted surface with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Replacement: When the lamp reaches the end of its lifespan, follow the "Setup and Installation" steps in reverse to safely remove and replace it. Ensure power is off before handling.

7. Troubleshooting

  • No power to the fixture.
  • Incorrect wiring (ballast not bypassed).
  • Lamp not properly seated.
  • Faulty lamp.
  • Check circuit breaker and wall switch.
  • Verify ballast has been completely bypassed and direct AC voltage is supplied. Consult an electrician if unsure.
  • Ensure the lamp is fully inserted into the 2G11 base.
  • Test with a known working lamp if available.
Lamp flickers.
  • Loose connection.
  • Incompatible dimmer (this lamp is non-dimmable).
  • Voltage fluctuations.
  • Turn off power and re-seat the lamp. Check wiring connections.
  • Ensure no dimmer switch is being used.
