INSTR-LEDXXT8SM-0001-E / Rev. D 10/2013
■THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
APPLICABLE INSTALLATION CODE BY A PERSON FAMILIAR WITH
THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT AND THE
HAZARDS INVOLVED.
■WARNING - Risk of re or electric shock. The electrical rating
of these products is 90-290 VAC; the installer must determine
whether they have 90-290 V at the luminaire before installation.
■WARNING - Risk of re or electric shock. Reector kit installation
requires knowledge of uorescent lighting luminaire electrical
systems. If not qualied, do not attempt installation–Contact a
qualied electrician.
■WARNING - Risk of re or electric shock. Install this kit only in
luminaires that have the construction features and dimensions
shown in the photographs and/or drawings.
■WARNING - To prevent wiring damage or abrasion, do not expose
wiring to edges of sheet metal or other sharp objects.
■Do not make or alter any open holes in an enclosure of wiring or
electrical components during kit installation.
■THE RETROFIT ASSEMBLY IS ACCEPTED AS A COMPONENT OF
A FLUORESCENT LUMINAIRE WHERE THE SUITABILITY OF THE
COMBINATION SHALL BE DETERMINED BY CSA OR AUTHORITIES
HAVING JURISDICTION.
■For lamp replacement, contact Ledtronics and use only LEDtronics
LED Tube lamps (G13 Base).
■Not for use with light dimmers.
■This device is not intended for use with emergency exit xtures or
emergency exit lights.
■LEDtronics suggests installing a luminaire disconnect for protection
when servicing uorescent lights.
Important Safety InStructIonS
DANGER – RISK OF SHOCK: Disconnect Power Before Installation
Installation Instructions
Use of the ETL-listed T8 lamps in conjunction with bypassing the ballast does not eect the overall
Certication status, since the xture is covered by the Listing of the lamp and its installation instructions.
ENSURE THAT POWER IS OFF WHEN INSTALLING, REMOVING OR CHANGING LEDT8 TUBE LAMPS.
DO NOT TOUCH/HANDLE TUBES WITH POWER APPLIED (ON).
UNPACKING
THE LEDTRONICS LED T8 LIGHT TUBE
After unpacking and saving packing materials, examine the Light Tube and check for any possible damage that
could have resulted from transport. If damaged, notify LEDtronics and return the tube(s) in the packaging.
The instructions in these guidelines cannot anticipate all conceivable wiring situations.

when bypassing a uorescent instant-on ballast:
If the fixture’s bipin sockets are shunted**, then connect a wire at each end.
(Connect hot wire to a pin of the socket at ONE END, and connect cold wire to a pin of the socket at the OTHER END.)
DO NOT connect both power wires at the same shunted bipin socket end.
Shunted sockets have a jumper wire connecting the bipins within
the socket, and are used in “instant-on” fluorescent fixtures. This
wiring exception pertains to converting instant-on ballasted
fluorescent fixtures to LED ballast-free fixtures.
