WARNING

RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK: LED Retroﬁ t Kit installation requires knowledge of luminaire electrical systems. If not

qualiﬁ ed, do not attempt installation. Contact a qualiﬁ ed electrician. Install this kit only in luminaries that have the construction

features and dimensions shown in the drawings and where the input rating of the retroﬁ t kit does not exceed the input rating

of the luminaire. To prevent wiring damage or abrasion, do not expose wiring to edges of sheet metal or other sharp objects.

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 the

lampholder lead wires by employing applicable connectors (or replace with new shunted lamp holders). THIS 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 SUPERCEDE LOCAL OR

NATIONAL REGULATIONS FOR ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS. Installers should examine all parts that are not intended to be

replaced by the retroﬁ t kit for damage and replace any damaged parts prior to installation of the retroﬁ t kit. Do not make or

alter any open holes in an enclosure of wiring or electrical components during kit installation. This lamp operates directly from

120V-347V mains. Do not use Ballast or any starting aid. Do not connect to a voltage higher than 347 volts. To reduce risk of

misapplication, Current recommends installing a fuse in series with the Phase or Hot lead and the SHUNTED (Instant Start style)

lamp holder(s) per the wiring diagrams below. Only one fuse kit is needed for up to 4 tubes in the same ﬁ xture. Ensure the lamp

holders are SHUNTED for Double Ended T8 applications.

LEDL136 (Rev 8/9/21) - DOC-2001746

To install the Type B LED T8, please read the entire installation guide carefully.

To protect against future misapplication, Current recommends installing

an in-line fuse: Type 2AG, rated at 1 amp, 500 volts, Littlefuse part number

0477001.MXP or equivalent.

Ensure that package includes installation guide, warning label to be attached to luminaire, LED T8 tube. Minimum ﬁ xture volume for 4 lamps is 48 inches long x 24

inches wide x 4 inches deep (4’). Minimum socket spacing is 4.4 inches apart. Product is not intended to be used with dimmers or emergency lighting. This LED T8

tube is not suitable for direct replacement of linear ﬂ uorescent lamps in luminaires where the lamps are connected to a ballast. The technical and safety require-

ments of the converted luminaire are the sole responsibility of the party doing the conversion and shall comply with the local applicable safety and regulatory laws

and standards. The provided Caution label should be placed onto the converted luminaire to indicate that the luminaire has been modiﬁ ed and can no longer be

used with conventional ﬂ uorescent lamps.

This lamp is designed for general lighting service. This lamp may not be suitable for use in all applications where a conventional ﬂ uorescent lamp has been used.

This Class A device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this

device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any changes or modiﬁ cations not expressly approved by the manu-

facturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. This device complies with CAN ICES-005A.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this

equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

3) If two wires come from an existing lamp holder

(rapid start type), these two wires should be wired

or shunted together.

4) Connect the recommended fuse and fuseholder (not

supplied) to the black (hot) wire from the mains.

5) Connect together all of the lampholder leads on one

side and connect to the other side of the recommended

fuse with suitable wire.

6) Connect together all of the lamp holder leads on the

other side of the ﬁ xture and connect to the white or neu-

tral wire from the mains.

7) Replace the ballast / wiring area cover, ensuring no

wires are pinched between the cover and the ﬁ xture.
