Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the QT-FIT5 2X14-35 should always be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure adherence to local electrical codes. The unit is designed specifically for T5 lamps in the 14-35W power range. When mounting, ensure the surface is flat and the unit is protected from direct moisture contact, despite its robust operating temperature rating. Periodically inspect the wiring terminals for tightness during routine maintenance cycles. Avoid exposing the ballast to extreme humidity or corrosive chemical fumes, which can degrade the internal electronic components over time.
