Safety Information · Not suitable for use with dimmers and sensors unless specifically designed for RAB Lightcloud Blue lamps. · This device is not intended for use with emergency exits. · Only use the control provided with or specified by these instructions to control this lamp. This lamp will not operate properly when connected to a standard (Incandescent) dimmer or dimming control. · WARNING - Risk of fire or electric shock. LED Retrofit Kit installation requires knowledge of luminaires electrical systems. If not qualified, do not attempt installation. Contact a qualified electrician. · WARNING - Risk of fire or electric shock. Install this kit only in luminaires that have the construction features and dimensions shown in the photographs and/or drawings and where the input rating of the retrofit kit does not exceed the input rating of the luminaire. · Do not make or alter any open holes in an enclosure of wiring or electrical components during kit installation. · WARNING - To prevent wiring damage or abrasion, do not expose wiring to edges of sheet metal or other sharp objects. · WARNING - To avoid potential fire or shock hazard, do not use this retrofit kit in luminaires employing shunted bi-pin lampholders. Note: Shunted lamp holders are found only in fluorescent luminaires with Instant-Start ballasts. Instant-start ballasts can be identified by the words "Instant Start" or "I.S." marked on the ballast. This designation may be in the form of a statement pertaining to the ballast itself, or may be combined with the marking for the lamps with which the ballast is intended to be used, for example F40T12/IS. For more information, contact the LED luminaire retrofit kit manufacturer. · Installers should not disconnect existing wires from lampholder terminals to make new connections at lampholder terminals. Instead installers should cut existing lampholder leads away from the lampholder and make new electrical connections to lampholder lead wires by employing applicable connectors. · The retrofit kit is accepted as a component of a luminaire where the suitability of the combination shall be determined by authorities having jurisdiction. Product must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the applicable and appropriate electrical codes. The installation guide does not supersede local or national regulations for electrical installations. · Installers should examine all parts that are not intended to be replaced by the retrofit kit for damage and replace any damaged parts prior to installation of the retrofit kit.

Use the below wiring diagram based on current ballast wiring configuration for guidance. Note: The ballast wiring represents typical configuration. The actual ballast wiring varies according to ballast model. It is not needed to change socket (if in good condition) to operate double ended lamps, regardless of the type of sockets. Please make sure one side of fixture is connected to Live (L) and the other side to Neutral (N).
