Note 2: The following information is provided as an aid to the identification of fluorescent lighting system components manufactured by ALC. Components manufactured by ALC and those manufactured by SELA Laboratoire Abadie (SELA) are very similar in size, shape, colour and part number, however they may be identified by trademark. The ALC power unit can be identified by a stylised ALC logo with `Aerospace Lighting Corp' in smaller print beneath the logo while the SELA power unit can be identified by a starburst pattern incorporating the text `laboratoire, abadie, France'. The ALC lamp connector has ALC moulded into the body of the conical piece of the connector while the SELA lamp connector is only stamped in yellow ink. The ALC lamp can be positively identified by the presence of a small hole in the locking channel of each blue plastic end piece.

Requirement: 1. Inspect the cabin fluorescent lighting system in accordance with ALC Information Bulletin IB 90-001 dated 15 August 1992 Part IV `Fluorescent Lighting System Components Identification and Inspection Procedures' sub-paragraphs B.1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7.

2. Remove and replace, in accordance with the procedures in Part IV sub-paragraphs B.4, 8 and 9 of IB 90-001 dated 15 August 1992, any part or parts found to be damaged or improperly configured.
