⚙️ Installation & Maintenance Tips

1. Turn off power and discharge fixture before removing old tube.

2. Check socket compatibility—ensure it’s G5, not G13 which is T8.

3. Use as direct replacement; ballast compatibility generally unaffected for same-watt tubes.

4. Inspect for damage before installation—fluorescent tubes contain mercury.

5. Recycle responsibly after life cycle; adhere to local hazardous waste regulations.
