Locating Model/
Serial Number and
Circuit Breakers
NOTE: Circuit breakers (post June 1998) and fuses (before June 1998) are located in the power supply.
The model/serial number tags identify the light model and manufacture date. If you have difficulty locating the model/serial number or circuit breaker locations on the lights,
the following examples may be helpful. The circuit breakers automatically interrupt the flow of electricity to the light if an over-current condition occurs.
