Lamp Sockets Lamp sockets as per I 60400 are required to ensure positive lamp-pin to socket contact. T5 linear lamps require rotary locking sockets. Lamp Mounting Many fluorescent lamp sockets are available with mounting slots to vary the height of the lamp away from the grounded metal surface. Having a fluorescent lamp too close to the grounded metal will reduce lamp life. Having a fluorescent lamp too far away from the grounded metal will make the lamp flicker or not turn on at all. Please note that all of the lamp heights are measured between the grounded metal surface and the glass wall of the lamp. Lamp Mounting height Mounting for T4 Lamps Lamp Socket (side view) Grounded metal IMPORTNT: Lamps must never touch ground plane and should be placed without obstruction. o not allow lamp glass to come in direct contact with any grounded metal surface. Mounting for T5HO Lamps Mount lamps /6 to 3/8 in (.6 to 9.5 mm) away from the grounded metal surface.

TTNTION FILITIS MNGRS PRFORMN Lamp Seasoning Some fluorescent lamp manufacturers recommend that new fluorescent lamps be operated at full output ( seasoned ) before they can be dimmed, to render lamp impurities inert, ensuring proper dimming performance and average rated lamp life.
