Setup und Installation

Follow these steps to safely install your Rexel CFL light bulb:

1. Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Stromversorgung ausgeschaltet ist: Before attempting any installation, turn off the power to the light fixture at the wall switch and, if possible, at the circuit breaker.
2. Allow Fixture to Cool: If replacing an old bulb, ensure the fixture and the old bulb have cooled down completely to avoid burns.
3. Auspacken der Glühbirne: Carefully remove the new Rexel CFL bulb from its packaging. Handle the bulb by its plastic base, avoiding direct contact with the glass spiral.
