20.2 Replacement of the fluorescent tubes
The average life expectancy of the fluorescent tubes is about 10,000 hours. We recommend replacing
the tubes every year in order to ensure full light intensity.
To replace the fluorescent tubes, unscrew and remove the glass fixings resting against the glass plate
(Crosstip screwdriver, size 2). Then lift the plate from the cassette. Rotate the tubes by 90° and pull them
out of their holders. Fix the glass plate and then screw in the glass fixings.

Figure 22: Replacing the fluorescent tubes
Always replace both fluorescent tubes of a light cassette together. Otherwise, homogeneity of
light intensity cannot be ensured.
