3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your Satco S8025 LED bulb:
- Turn Off Power: Locate the circuit breaker or fuse box that controls the power to the light fixture. Turn off the power completely.
- Allow Cooling (if replacing): If replacing an existing incandescent or halogen bulb, allow it to cool down completely before touching it.
- Remove Old Bulb (if applicable): Carefully unscrew the old bulb from the socket by turning it counter-clockwise.
- Install New Bulb: Gently screw the Satco S8025 LED bulb into the E26 base socket by turning it clockwise until it is snug. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the bulb or the fixture.
- Restore Power: Return to the circuit breaker or fuse box and turn the power back on.
- Test: Turn on the light switch to verify the bulb is functioning correctly.
4. Operating Instructions
The Satco S8025 LED bulb is designed for simple operation. Once installed in a compatible fixture and connected to a 120-volt power supply, the bulb will illuminate when the fixture's switch is turned to the 'ON' position. To turn off the light, simply flip the switch to the 'OFF' position.
5. Maintenance
Minimal maintenance is required for the Satco S8025 LED bulb due to its long lifespan and durable construction.
- Cleaning: To clean the bulb, ensure the power is off at the circuit breaker and the bulb is cool to the touch. Gently wipe the exterior with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, abrasive materials, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the bulb's finish or internal components.
- Replacement: When the bulb reaches the end of its operational life (approximately 15,000 hours) or if it malfunctions, follow the 'Setup and Installation' instructions to safely remove and replace it with a new compatible bulb.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Satco S8025 LED bulb, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
