Description of Hera Fluorescent T5 SlimLite XL Light Fixtures
Hera Fluorescent T5 SlimLIte XL light fixtures are energy-efficient, using built-in, silent, electronic ballasts, low profile, and generate very little heat. Link multiple fixtures together and use as backlighting, cabinet lighting, cove lighting, desk lighting, display case lighting, exhibits, indirect lighting, merchandising, over cabinet lighting, shelf lights, showcase lighting, task lighting, trade show lighting, and under cabinet lighting.
Very Low Profile: only 29/32in wide by 1-5/16in high
Very Little Heat: gives off very little heat
Very Light Weight: 1.3 pounds or less
What's Included?: a contemporary white housing fluorescent fixture with built-in, quiet electronic ballast, and mounting hardware is included in your purchase. A T5 lamp, plexiglass cover, and any plug-in or hardwire connections to deliver power to the fixture are sold separately on the Accessories tab.
LIGHT BULB
Light Bulb: uses a T5 fluorescent light bulb (ordered separately on the Accessories tab). [Caution: always be certain that the lamp is seated properly in both of its sockets. Be sure that both pins of each end are inside their respective socket and that the lamp is rotated 90 degrees once the pins are in the sockets. Failure to make good electrical contact between the pins and its socket may result in arcing and excessive heating of the socket.]
Very Good Lamp Life: rated life is 20,000 hours on average
Excellent Color Rendition: high color rendering index (CRI) of 82+
End of Lamp Life: when a fluorescent light bulb burns out it is always a good idea to turn off the corresponding Microfluorescent fixture. Otherwise, the solid state ballast used inside that fixture can sometimes burn out while trying to start a bad light bulb.
ELECTRICAL FEATURES
Quiet Electronic Ballast: built-in lightweight electronic ballast provides instant-on starting with no flickering and cool quiet operation
Energy Efficient: uses only 21, 28, 35 watts of power/fixture respectively
Easy to Link Fixtures Together: can be installed as multiple units connected in line with direct connectors or flexible connecting cables of 6in, 12in, 24in, 48in, or 72in. These flexible connecting cables cannot be connected to each other to create a longer connection.
Several Fixtures May be Linked Together: maximum wattage in one “ganged” line is 245 watts
2-Wire Non-Grounded: 2-wire non-grounded fixtures like these Hera Fluorescent T5 SlimLite XL Light Fixtures can be used for residential installations; on the other hand, 3-wire grounded microfluorescent fixtures are strongly recommended for projects that require grounding - especially commercial installations
Not Dimmable: these fluorescent fixtures are not dimmable
INSTALLATION
Very Easy to Install: easy to install with included 3 screw-in clips, then fixture snaps into place
Plug-In Electrical Connection: can easily be connected to power by using a 6ft white cord & plug adapter (sold separately on the Accessories tab).
Hardwire Electrical Connection: may be connected to power by using a special Hardwire Box (sold separately on the Accessories tab), that accepts a standard household wire and, in turn, can be connected to a T5 SlimLite XL fixture using a Flexible Connecting Cable. The T5 SlimLite XL fixtures cannot be hardwired directly to standard household wire without this special Hardwire Box; the profile of these T5 fixtures is simply too small. The dimensions of the Hardwire Box are 3-5/8in L x 2.25in W x 1-3/8in H.
Flexible Connectors: used to connect two fixtures together at various distances
OTHER

Specifications for Hera Fluorescent T5 SlimLite XL Light Fixtures
Measurement Guide for Hera Fluorescent T5 SlimLite XL Light Fixtures
When determining how many Hera Fluorescent T5 SlimLite XL Light Fixtures and which size you will need for under cabinet lighting you first will have to measure the space where the fixtures will be attached. To do this you should NOT measure the face of the cabinets; you should measure the "cavity" under the cabinet where the fixtures will actually be placed. We recommend that you "fill up" the cavity space with as many fixtures that can fit. For example, for a space that measures 50 inches we recommend that you use the fixture that measures 47in long, not the one that measures 35in. This will ensure that the countertop below will be uniformly lit.
