- 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.

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.

 By Trish Tunney from San Francisco on September 25, 2012 I have a glass display case. Can I attach these lights to the top? By Jacob from Pegasus Lighting on September 25, 2012Answer:Yes, these lights will work well in your application. By Gary with Certified Electrical Technologies from Rockville, MD on September 25, 2012Answer:I cannot think of a code-approved method of attaching the fixtures to glass. The fixtures are supplied with mounting clips. The fixtures snap into the mounting clips. The mounting clips are typically attached to a surface (i.e. a shelf) with screws.By Marc from West Dundee, IL on September 25, 2012Answer:Yes, you can attach them anywhere. I have a store with over 100 SlimLites, and I have them running vertically and horizontally too. The only issue is heat build-up which can shorten the life of the fixture. Heat rises, and if your case is closed, I would recommend drilling a few holes in the top of the case to help dissipate the heat, especially if you plan to use the fixture at the top of the case.

Great, Even Lighting for Walls and Ceilings
April 22, 2013
I own a jewelry store and we use these lights in our wall cases. The lighting is even and bright, and the heat output is minimal. The unit is self-ballasted and can be plugged into any conventional outlet, and even run in series. The only drawback is that they do not last a very long time. They stop after about 2 years. But, dollar for dollar, still the best lighting we've found. I would recommend it!!
Pros:Even and bright
Cons:Short life span, especially when mounted vertically

Replacement for failed Hera T5 SlimLite XL Light Fixture
February 9, 2013
This product meets my needs except that one unit failed in less than a year (burned out ballast). They only come with a 90-day warranty. I hope this failure was an extremely infrequent occurrence.
