Sicherheitshinweise

Beachten Sie beim Umgang mit elektrischen Geräten stets die grundlegenden Sicherheitsvorkehrungen, um das Risiko von Bränden, Stromschlägen und Verletzungen zu verringern.

• Ensure power is turned off at the circuit breaker before installation, removal, or inspection.
• Do not use in fully enclosed fixtures unless specified for CFL use, as this can shorten bulb life.
• Vermeiden Sie es, die Glühbirne während des Betriebs oder unmittelbar nach dem Ausschalten mit bloßen Händen zu berühren, da sie heiß sein kann.
• Do not use with standard dimmer switches unless the bulb and fixture are specifically rated for dimmable CFLs. This bulb is dimmable.
• Dispose of broken bulbs according to local regulations, as they contain small amounts of mercury.

Setup und Installation

1. Kompatibilität überprüfen: Ensure your fixture is designed for a G24q-2 base and 18-watt CFL bulbs.
2. Ausschalten: Before installation, turn off the power to the fixture at the main circuit breaker or fuse box.
3. Alte Glühbirne entfernen (falls zutreffend): If replacing an existing bulb, allow it to cool completely. Gently twist and pull the old bulb straight out from the socket.
4. Neue Glühbirne einbauen: Align the 4 pins of the Ushio BC8852 bulb with the slots in the G24q-2 socket. Gently push the bulb straight into the socket until it is firmly seated. Do not force the bulb.
5. Strom wiederherstellen: Sobald die Glühbirne sicher eingesetzt ist, schalten Sie die Leuchte wieder in den Stromkreis ein.
