Do not make or alter any open holes in an enclosure of
wiring or electrical components during lamp
installation.
For lamp replacement, use only lamps that function
without an external ballast.
THIS DEVICE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE WITH
EMERGENCY EXITS.
Not for use with light dimmers.
LEDtronics suggests installing a luminaire disconnect
for protection when servicing lights.
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. Wiring modication for bulb installation
requires knowledge of luminaire electrical systems. If not qualied, do not attempt
installation–Contact a qualied electrician.
WARNING – Risk of re or electric shock. The electrical rating of these products is
marked on the lamp; the installer must determine whether they have the correct
input voltage at the luminaire before installation.
WARNING – Risk of re or electric shock. Bypass the ballast (if present), apply
warning label, and install this LED bulb only in lampholders that have the
construction features and dimensions shown in the drawings.
WARNING – To prevent wiring damage or abrasion, do not expose wiring to edges
of sheet metal or other sharp objects.
Ballast-free LEDtronics bulbs have no
need for a longer plug.

Larger GX24q sockets: LEDtronics LDL QU Series can be used in GX24q sockets that
formerly used CFL bulbs (and are directly powered to a pin on each plug side).
NOTE: No special electrician skills are necessary for
installation if: The bulb and the xture are of
compatible voltages, with matching plug and socket.
The xture is properly labeled as accepting only LED
bulbs, to never install with compact uorescents.

The GX24Q-base lamp xture that does not use a ballast should
have a readily visible marking or label stating to the e���ect that
“This luminaire has been modied and can no longer operate
the originally intended CFL lamp” or “This xture is intended
for LED lamps only. Never plug in a uorescent lamp.”

If no lamp-modication notice is present, ax the LEDtronics
LED Lamp Replacement Marking label where readily visible
by a user during maintenance or relamping.
If the lamp xture has been modied for LED lamps
and does not use a CFL BALLAST
Does the GX24q socket have an integrated ballast?

A caution label should be visible to the bulb installer
warning against installing uorescent (CFL) bulbs in the xture.
Plug the LED lamp into the socket with LEDs facing in the
correct direction.
Close xture and restore power.

If the socket has an integrated ballast,
replace it with a socket without a ballast.

Determine that the light beam direction of the right-angled
bulb illuminates to the best advantage in the housing.
The xture housing should not be totally enclosed and
should allow any bulb heat to escape. The ambient
temperature environment of the bulb should be no greater
than 122°F [50°C].
Does the xture housing have the clearance to accept
the LEDtronics bulb and allow light to beam unimpeded?

If a grounding wire is present, assure it is connected to a suitable ground point
Installer should not disconnect existing wires from lampholder terminals.
Instead installer should cut existing lampholder leads away from the
lampholder and make new electrical connections to lampholder lead wires by
employing applicable connectors.
