How to Install a ST220RS 24 Strip

A ST220RS 24 strip is a dual-tube, fluorescent light fixture, which requires two 24-inch fluorescent tubes. The chassis of the fixture is painted white and the fixture does not come with a light cover. Therefore, the tubes remain exposed at all times. The ST220RS 24 strip light is a good choice for garages, basement or other areas where industrial fluorescent lighting is an acceptable choice.

Screwdriver
Wood screws or drywall screws

Instructions

- 1
  Turn off the breaker that controls the electrical circuit for the room where you plan to install the light.

  Feed the black, white and green wires coming out of the ceiling through the access hole in the top of the light fixture and then secure the light fixture to the ceiling with drywall screws or wood screws. You will locate a hole at each end where you can install the screws.
