to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and
wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product’s
specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal
conditions.
•Always connect the product to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse).
Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.

unplugging it.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if
the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

MAINTENANCE
5. MAINTENANCE
Product Maintenance
Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of
the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean
your lighting products at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions
could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:
1.Unplug the product from power.
2.Wait until the product is at room temperature.
3.Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external
surface/vents.
4.Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl
alcohol.
5.Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
6.Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
7.Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
