   • Connect the neutral (N) wire from the power source to the other end of the fixture's tombstone (socket).
   • Ensure that each end of the fixture receives power independently (one end for Live, one for Neutral). Refer to the wiring diagram below.

6. Restore Power: Close the fixture and restore power at the circuit breaker.

7. Maintenance

LIGHEART LED bulbs require minimal maintenance due to their long lifespan and durable construction.

• Cleaning: Ensure power is off before cleaning. Gently wipe the frosted cover with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the bulbs and wiring for any signs of damage or loose connections. Address any issues promptly by disconnecting power and consulting a qualified electrician if necessary.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your LIGHEART LED bulbs, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Bulb Not Lighting Up:
  • Ensure power is supplied to the fixture. Check the circuit breaker.
  • Verify that the ballast and starter have been completely bypassed or removed. These LED bulbs are not compatible with ballasts.
  • Check the wiring connections at both ends of the fixture to ensure they are secure and correctly wired for dual-ended power (Live to one end, Neutral to the other).
  • Ensure the bulb's FA8 single pins are properly seated in the sockets.
• Flickering or Dim Light:
  • Confirm that the ballast has been removed. Residual ballast components can cause flickering.
  • Check for loose wiring connections.
  • Ensure the voltage supply is within the specified range (100-120V AC).
• Only Half of the Bulb Lights Up:
  • This indicates an issue with power delivery to one side of the dual-ended bulb. Re-check the wiring to ensure both Live and Neutral connections are correctly made to their respective ends of the fixture.
  • Inspect the bulb's pins for damage or improper seating.
