Unpacking Instructions

Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.

AC Power

This fixture has an auto-switching power supply that can accommodate a wide range of input voltages. The only thing necessary to do before powering on the unit is to make sure the line voltage you are applying is within the range of accepted voltages. This fixture will accommodate between 100 V and 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. 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.

Warning! All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.
