Quickstart Guide
- Single-Ended Installation (Non-Shunted Compatible Only)
- Double-Ended Installation (Non-Shunted & Shunted Compatible)
Installation Guide
(Single-Ended, Without Ballast)
STEP 1
- Turn off the power: Locate the circuit breaker that controls the existing fluorescent fixture and switch it off.
- Carefully remove the old TB fluorescent tube by gently twisting it and sliding it out of the socket.
Note: If the socket lamp holders are shunted, replace them with new non-shunted ones.
STEP 2
- For a single lamp installation, properly install the lamp with L and N markings into the wired lamp holder end (Figure 1).
- For multiple lamp installation, ensure a link between a separate neutral wire from the primary source lamp holder’s “Neutral OUT” and connect it to the “Neutral IN” terminal on the adjacent tube (Figure 2).
STEP 3
- Turn on the circuit breaker and test the light.

Installation Guide (Double-Ended, Without Ballast )
step 1
- Turn off the power: Locate the circuit breaker that controls the existing fluorescent fixture and switch it off.
- Carefully remove the old TS fluorescent tube by gently twisting it and sliding it out of the socket.
- Open and remove the wiring compartment cover of the ballast. Verify the Live and Neutral wires from the breaker box to the ballast and use a voltmeter to confirm the power is off.
STEP 2
- Check if the fixture has a non-shunted or shunted G13 bi-pin lamp holder:
- Refer to Wiring Diagram A in Step 3 if holders are NON-SHUNTED.
- Refer to Wiring Diagram A in Step 3 if holders are SHUNTED
Installation Guide (Double-Ended, NON-SHUNTED ONLY)
STEP 3
Wiring Diagram A (NON-SHUNTED ONLY)
- Disconnect any wires connected to the ballast as indicated by an “X” on the wiring diagram. Safely dispose of the ballast and fluorescent lamps, following local government regulations.
- Connect one wire to L (Live) and the other to N (Neutral). Repeat this step for the socket on the opposite side.
- Connect the wires of (L) to the BLACK wire of your power supply and connect the wires of (N) to the WHITE wire of your power supply.
WARNING: DO NOT CONTACT OPPOSITE SOCKET WIRES, THIS WILL CAUSE THE LAMP TO SHORT-CIRCUIT.

Light Distribution Angle
- Lighting distribution angle refers to the spread of light emitted from a light source.
- It is an important factor to consider when selecting a fixture or bulb, as it affects the way it will illuminate an area.
- There are two main types of lighting distribution angles:
- A symmetric lighting distribution emits light evenly in all directions, creating a cone-shaped pattern that provides a pool of light.
- This type of lighting is ideal for general lighting and illuminating large areas.
- Common applications for symmetric lighting include general area illumination, security lighting, and perimeter lighting.
- Symmetrical lighting is also used to a certain degree in up-lighting.
- An asymmetric lighting distribution angle, also known as beam angle, creates a pattern that focuses light in a specific direction.
- This type of lighting is ideal for task lighting as it reduces glare and light spill in other areas.
- Common applications include task lighting in spaces such as landscape settings, retail stores, museums, and much more.
- It is important to note that the lighting distribution angle can also be affected by other factors such as the reflector design of the light source, the type of lens used, and the distance between the light source and the surface being illuminated.
