Warning! Verify that the power requirement label on your unit matches the line voltage
applied. All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.
• To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate
of the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart.
• A fixture’s listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions.
• All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat
(variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0%
to 100% switch.
• Before applying power to a fixture, check that the source voltage matches the fixture’s
requirement.
• All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.
