Alw ays make sure that you are connecting to the proper voltage and that the line voltage you are connecting to is not higher

To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not expose fixture to rain or moisture. Make sure there are no flammable materials close

center. Always use the same type spare parts.
Don’t connect the device to a dimmer pack.
Make sure power cord is never crimped or damaged.
Never disconnect pow er cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.
Avoid direct eye exposure to lamp. Gas discharge lamps generate UV radiation. Never operate the lamp without
appropriate protection as it could damage skin and eyes. These lamps operate at high pressures and there is always a slight
risk of tube rupture. The risk of rupture increases with age, temperature and improper handling of the lamp. These lamps
also generate UV radiation. The UV radiation that is emitted extends well below 287nm, which is considered the point at
which the UV radiation becomes imminently harmful. Exposure to this short wave UV should be limited. If aligning a
lamp, care must be taken to reduce the exposure time to the lamp. Never look directly at any lamp while it is powered on.
Read the booklet that accompanies each lamp and heed attention to the warnings concerning exposure to skin and eyes.
Use appropriate eye protection to block all UV rays. Do not use ordinary sunglasses.
Caution
There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the housing
or attempt any repairs yourself. In the unlikely event your unit may require
service, please contact your nearest dealer.
