When working at heights, please use a suitable
platform.

flash or high voltage testing.

Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

FL157BPC - Do not install under eaves or in a location
of frequent shadow that will prevent the light from
switching on when required. Do not install near other
sources of bright light that will prevent the light from
switching on when the ambient light level falls.

This product is suitable for installation on surfaces
with normal flammability e.g. wood, plasterboard, and
masonry. It is not suitable for use on highly flammable
surfaces (e.g. polystyrene, textiles).

Before making fixing hole(s), check that there are no
obstructions hidden beneath the mounting surface
such as pipes or cables.

The chosen location of your new fitting should allow
for the product to be securely mounted and safely
connected to the mains supply (lighting circuit).

When choosing the location for your new fitting,
ensure that the fixings will be anchored in a solid
surface e.g. concrete, brick or a joist - do not fix directly
onto panelling, cladding, plasterboard etc.

If the location of your new fitting requires the provision
of a new electrical supply, the supply must conform
with the requirements of the Building Regulations
making reference to the current edition of the IEE
Wiring Regulations (BS7671).

This product is designed for permanent connection to
fixed wiring: this should be either a suitable lighting
circuit (protected with a 5 or 6 Amp MCB or fuse) or a
fused spur (with a 3 Amp fuse) via a fused connection
unit. If the connection to your fitting is to be made
in a humid or wet location, the connections must
be contained within an approved, ingress protected,
water-proof connection box (not supplied).

We recommend that the supply incorporates a switch
for ease of operation.

Make connections to the electrical supply in
accordance with the following code:

Live - Brown or Red
Neutral - Blue or Black
Earth - Green and Yellow

When making connections, ensure that the terminals
are tightened securely and that no strands of wire
protrude. Check that the terminals are tightened onto
the bared conductors and not onto any insulation.
Wrap loose terminal blocks well with insulating tape.

This product must be connected to Earth.

IMPORTANT— Always switch off at the mains before
changing the lamp.

If the external flexible cable of this luminaire is
damaged it shall be exclusively replaced by repair or

You are advised at every stage of your installation to
double-check any electrical connections you have
