2.

Remove ballast cover

connection to new Driver

7.
Remove all mechanical devices associated with the original fluorescent light system -

Installing the Stripit Kit
1.
We recommend that you install the RedBird LED thin film diffusers onto all of the LED Strips
before mounting to the fixture, while working on a flat work surface
Please refer to this
video for guidance and tips on this installation

2.
Mount RedBird LED Driver in place of the ballast using TEK screws
3.
Using the wire nuts, connect power leads to the driver’s WHITE and BLACK wires on the
driver’s primary power input side. [Since the Driver is fully isolated and cannot be cross
connected, it makes no difference which wire is connected to hot or neutral]
