Installation Instructions (Single-Ended)
1. Make sure the circuit breaker that supplies the power to the
fixture is turned off.
2. Remove lens or diffuser cover (if applicable) and
existing fluorescent lamps.
3. Open/Remove ballast wiring compartment cover.
4. Identify the line and neutral wires running from the breaker box
to the ballast and confirm the power is off using a voltmeter.
5. Cut all wires connected to ballast, and remove ballast (and starter
if present). Dispose of removed ballast and fluorescent lamps in
accordance with government regulations in your area.
6. Ensure that the fixture contains non-shunted G13 bi-pin lamp

then replace with new non-shunted socket lamp holders. If socket
lamp holders are shunted with a jumper wire, remove wire to
convert into non-shunted sockets.

only (Figure 2). To install, please wire non-shunted sockets by
connecting one wire from the lamp holder to branch circuit
L (LIVE) and the other wire at the opposite end to the branch
circuit N (NEUTRAL). Do not connect opposite side to power.
Use appropriate wires for connection.
8. Make sure all sockets are replaced and wired according to the
appropriate wiring diagram. (Figure 3, 4, 5, 6).
9. Reinstall the ballast cover to hide all wires.
10. Install your new LED T8 replacement lamps.
11. Apply Relamping Label on a visible location inside the fixture.
12. Reinstall lens or diffusion cover on the light fixture.
13. Turn power on at the breaker box.
