2. Installation and Setup
2.1 Safety Precautions
- Ensure power is turned off at the circuit breaker before installation to prevent electric shock.
- Do not touch the bulb with wet hands.
- These bulbs are non-dimmable. Do not use with dimmer switches, as this may cause flickering or damage to the bulb.
- Verify the fixture's voltage compatibility (AC/DC 12-24V) before installation.
2.2 Checking Compatibility
Before installing, confirm that your fixture has a standard G4 bi-pin base and operates within the 12-24V AC/DC range. The bulb dimensions are approximately 10mm (0.39 inches) in width and 37mm (1.45 inches) in height. Ensure sufficient space within your fixture.
