Strip-Light Canopy maintenance

WARNING: Fluorescent tubes are made of glass. Handle Strip Lights and tubes with care.
Replacing the fluorescent tube(s) of the Strip-Light
RECOMMENDATION: Use only standard aquarium normal output fluorescent bulbs as per the
wattage rating indicated on the electrical data label located on the Strip-Light. Always use original
spare parts only.
1. Disconnect the Strip-Light from power supply.
WARNING: be sure you unplug the power cord; just switching off the lights with the line cord switch
is NOT enough.
2. Remove the Strip Light from the aquarium and place it with the fluorescent tubes facing up on a solid
surface, far enough from the aquarium to avoid accidental falling of parts into water.
3. Unscrew the lamp-holder threaded fitting with one hand while supporting the lampholder (to prevent
accidental cracking of this plastic component) with the other hand. This procedure must be performed
at both ends of each fluorescent tube being replaced.
4. Carefully slide out the old fluorescent bulb.
5. To install new Glo fluorescent tube(s) refer to the section titled "Glo Fluorescent Tube Installation".
Replacing the reflector of the Strip-Light
The Strip Light is equipped with replaceable reflectors to ensure maximum light emission. To maintain
optimal light output it is recommended to replace the reflectors when they become discoloured.
1. Disconnect the Strip-Light from power supply.
WARNING: be sure you unplug the power cord; just switching off the lights with the line cord switch
is NOT enough
2. Remove the Strip Light from the aquarium and place it with the fluorescent
tubes facing up on a solid surface, far enough from the aquarium to avoid
parts accidentally falling into the water.
3. Removal of the fluorescent lamp is necessary to access the white plastic
reflector (refer to "Replacing the fluorescent tube(s)" paragraph above).
4. Gently press on the edge of the white plastic reflector panel at both
ends, simultaneously, beside the upper locking tabs. This will release the
reflector, it may now be lifted out.
5. Position the new reflector by first locating it within the lower locking tabs and then gently pressing it,
simultaneously, at both ends beside the upper locking tabs until it snaps into place.
6. Reinstall the fluorescent tube (refer to "Replacing the fluorescent tube(s)" paragraph above).
