Preparation
DO NOT USE THIS FIXTURE WITH A DIMMING CIRCUIT. If you presently have dimmer
controls, you will need to remove them and replace them with regular electrical switches. If
you have a three way dimmer, you will have to replace it with a regular three way switch.
If you are unfamiliar with electrical installations, we recommend you have a qualified
electrician do your installation.
Important Safety Instructions
This unit has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety feature. This plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord
unless plug can be fully inserted. Do NOT attempt to defeat this feature.
DO NOT ALTER THE PLUG.
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS:
1. Turn off/unplug and allow to cool before replacing bulb (lamp).
2. Use only with a linear fluorescent bulb: G9712L-T5-WHESI Bulb #F8T5,
G9724L-T5-WHES-I Bulb #F14T5.
3. Handle bulb(s) with care during replacing. The glass tube of bulb is very fragile and can
break easily.
IMPORTANT: The fluorescent bulb is included with your Good Earth Lighting® fixture. In order
to protect the bulb during shipment, your bulb(s) may be packed in a separate area of the
packing materials. Additionally, your bulbs may already be placed into their respective
sockets, but may have a protective support collar slipped over the bulb. Do NOT operate your
fixture with this support collar in place. You can either cut this collar off, or remove the bulb
from the sockets and slide the support collar off the bulb. Discard the corrugated support
collar.
Before installation, plug in fixture to a 120V 60Hz electrical outlet to check for proper operation.
Then, unplug and begin the installation.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT INSTALL THE FIXTURE WHILE IT IS PLUGGED INTO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET! FOR
INDOOR INSTALLATIONS ONLY.
Caution: the wattage of all the bulbs added together in one chain should NOT exceed 600 W.
Installing more than that total wattage can overload the connector wiring and can result in a
hazardous situation. These fluorescent light fixtures are available in 8 W and 14 W versions.
You should identify each of the versions you have on hand, and add up the total number of
bulbs to insure that it does not exceed 600 W.

WARNING: Shut off power at the circuit breaker or fuse panel
before removing the old fixture (Fig. 1).
2
Remove the old fixture. Make yourself a sketch of how the fixture
is wired (index the sketch by wire color) or mark the wires
themselves with masking tape and a pencil so you will know how to connect the wires to
your new fixture. If several wires are involved or if the wiring seems more complicated and
perhaps even includes a red wire, take note of the connections before you disconnect them.

Direct Wire Installation
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD
If your fixture is to be direct wired, you will no longer need your power cord, and it should be
discarded. Do NOT remove the plastic receptacle cap that covers the input receptacle. DO
NOT plug your power cord into light fixture.
Remove the diffuser by pulling back and up on the top edge of
the diffuser using your fingertips (Fig. 1).
Remove the bulb from the fixture by placing your thumbs on
the metal ends of the bulb. While applying slight pressure on
the bulb, roll the bulb toward you until the contact
Fig. 2
pins on the ends of the bulb disengage from the
socket (Fig. 2). Pull the bulb straight out from the
socket and set aside during mounting (Fig. 3).
While holding the fixture up against the mounting surface, use
a pencil to mark the locations of the keyhole slots onto the
mounting surface (Fig. 4).
Drill a 1/16 in. pilot hole into the marked screw locations. You
can also use an awl, or nail to dimple the screw holes. Start
the screws, but do not tighten fully. Slide the fixture over until
the narrow legs of the keyhole slots are under the heads of the
screws (Fig. 5). Finish tightening the screws until they are
firmly seated, and the fixture is tightly secured to the mounting
surface. Replace the diffuser.
