DISCHARGE LAMP WARNING: This fixture is fitted with a discharge lamp which is

highly susceptible to damage if improperly handled. Never touch the lamp with your bare
hands as the oil from your hands will shorten lamp life. Also, never move the fixture until the
lamps have had ample time to cool. Remember, lamps are not covered under warranty
conditions.

This unit emits intense UV radiation, which is harmful to the eyes and skin. The intense
luminance of the lamp can cause severe damage to the retina. Never operate this fixture with
the protective covers removed, these covers have been specially designed to shield against
UV radiation.

Epileptic Warning: Those suffering from epilepsy should avoid looking directly into the lamp
at all times.

Avoid switch the fixture on and off repeatedly in short intervals as this will reduce lamp life
and intensity.

To achieve the intensity associated with discharge lamps, these lamps use gas sealed in a
high pressure environment to emit a brilliant output. Due to the high pressure involved with
the construction of the lamp, the lamp may explode during prolonged extensive use. This
risk is increased with age, added care is encouraged when dealing with older lamps. Extreme
caution should be used when operated this or any fixture fitted with a gas discharge lamp.
Never open this unit while in use.
