Troubleshooting
Tube does not light up
Ensure the tube is correctly seated in the G10q lampholders. Verify that the fixture's ballast is functional and compatible. Check the power supply to the fixture.
Tube flickers or hums
This may indicate an aging ballast or a loose connection. Turn off the power and check the seating of the tube and wiring connections within the fixture. Consider replacing the ballast if the issue persists.
Tube lifespan is shorter than expected
Ensure the tube is operating within a suitable ambient temperature range and that the fixture is not being switched on and off excessively, as this can impact lamp life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before attempting to install or replace the tube. Carefully remove the old tube by gently twisting and pulling. Align the pins of the new Eveready T9 Circular Tube with the G10q lampholders in your fixture and push gently until seated. Rotate slightly to secure. Restore power.
Compatibility: This tube requires a fixture specifically designed for a T9 circular fluorescent lamp with a G10q cap type. It also requires a compatible ballast (electronic or magnetic) within the fixture to operate. Check your existing fixture specifications before purchasing.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, periodically clean the exterior of the tube and the light fixture when the power is off. Use a dry or slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the tube coating.
