This
category covers retrofit devices or kits consisting of parts and/or
sub-assemblies intended for field installation in UL Listed luminaires,
office furnishing luminaires or portable luminaires. These products have
been investigated to determine that, when used in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions, they do not adversely affect the operation
of the complete unit.
This product includes reflector kit
retrofits and other retrofit devices. Reflector kits are intended to be
used to add or replace reflectors in fluorescent luminaires and may also
involve relocation, removal or replacement of wiring, lampholders and
ballasts. Reflector kits are not intended to be installed on luminaires
used as air-handling registers unless the accompanying reflector kit
installation instructions specify this combination as suitable.
This
category also includes retrofit kits consisting of light-emitting-diode
(LED) light sources intended to replace a fluorescent lamp and where it
is necessary to modify the luminaire. The modification may involve
removing the fluorescent lamp ballast or rewiring lampholders within the
luminaire in order to power the LED light source. A luminaire that is
modified so it can no longer accept the original lamp has a label
affixed (provided by the retrofit kit manufacturer) indicating the
luminaire has been modified and can no longer operate the originally
intended lamp(s).
