2. Remove the Strip-Light from the aquarium and place it with the fluorescent
tubes facing up on a solid surface, far enough from the aquarium to prevent
parts from accidentally falling into the water.
3. Unscrew the lamp holder threaded fitting with one hand while supporting
the lamp holder with the other hand (to prevent accidental cracking of
this plastic component). This procedure must be performed at both ends
of each fluorescent tube being replaced.
4. Carefully slide out the old fluorescent bulb.
5. Slide the two threaded fittings with gaskets onto the new fluorescent tube, towards the middle, so
that the threads are facing the ends of the fluorescent bulb (as shown in diagram 1).
Ensure that the gaskets are properly positioned.
6. Carefully insert the pins of the new fluorescent tube into the lamp holder slots until it clicks.
7. Carefully support the lamp holders with one hand and gently screw the threaded fittings with the
other hand. Firmly hand-tighten these fittings, the use of any tool is not recommended. These units
are plastic, avoid cross-threading the fittings.
8. Place the Strip-Light back on the aquarium.
WARNING: To prevent moisture from entering the lamp socket and corroding the electrical contacts, fully
tighten threaded fittings onto socket. Ensure there are no visible threads or gaps between the lamp
socket and threaded fittings. Ensure threaded fittings are not cross threaded onto the lamp socket.
5. REPLACING THE STRIP-LIGHT REFLECTOR
The Strip-Light is equipped with replaceable reflectors to ensure maximum light emission. To maintain
optimal light output, it is recommended to replace the reflectors when they become discolored.
1. Disconnect the Strip-Light from power supply.
WARNING: Be sure you unplug the power cord. Switching off the lights with the cord line
switch or the Light Timer is NOT enough
2. Remove the Strip-Light from the aquarium and place it
with the fluorescent tubes facing up on a solid surface,
far enough from the aquarium to prevent parts from
accidentally falling into the water.
3. Removal of the fluorescent lamp is necessary to
access the white plastic reflector (refer to "Replacing
the fluorescent tube(s)" paragraph above).
4. Gently press on the edge of the white plastic reflector
panel at both ends, simultaneously, beside the upper
locking tabs. This will release the reflector, it can now
be lifted out.
5. Position the new reflector by first locating it within the lower locking tabs and then gently pressing it,
simultaneously, at both ends beside the upper locking tabs until it snaps into place.
6. Reinstall the fluorescent tube (refer to "Replacing the fluorescent tube(s)" paragraph above).

6. CLEANING THE STRIP LIGHT CANOPY
Disconnect the Strip-Light from power supply before any maintenance operation.
WARNING: Be sure you unplug the power cord. Switching off the lights with the line cord
switch or the Light Timer is NOT enough.
Never place the Strip-Light under water jets or submerge in water.
No special maintenance is required for the Fluval Strip-Light Canopy, other than periodic cleaning with a
damp cloth (never use harsh chemical products or detergents). To remove calcareous deposits, use a mild
acid such as lemon juice, then wipe down the surface with a damp cloth to remove any residue.
Saltwater aquariums require regular and thorough cleaning to remove salt accumulations on the
Strip-Light Canopy and the fluorescent tube(s). Please refer to paragraph "Additional safety instructions
for the installation and maintenance of saltwater aquariums" in the Introduction.
