Locations are circled in figure 3. Timer FIGURE 3 CAUTION: Do not grasp the LEDs to remove the LED PCB from the light enclosure. The LED PCB is connected to the Current PCB by two 4-pin connectors on the upper corners of the LED PCB.
Removing the Current PCB The procedures in section 4.2 must be completed before beginning these steps. Positioning guides, connectors to the LED PCB, power cable from the flexible mounting tube and cables to the ON/Standby switch hold the Current PCB. Remove the Current PCB by pulling it out of the light enclosure as shown in figure 4.
Removing the ON/Standby Switch The switch is held in the light enclosure by spring tabs, two on each side of the switch. See figure 5. Press the tabs against the switch body while pushing the switch out the top of the light enclosure.
