4. The fixture is wired properly.

5. The fixture is grounded properly.

• Do not touch operating luminaire

Use only lamps specified on nameplate. Observe
lamp manufacturer’s recommendations and
restrictions on lamp operation, particularly ballast
type, burning position, etc.

Lamp Tightness – Mogul Base Lamp: The lamp should be

securely inserted to the NEMA-EEI specified torque of 35
inch-pounds, which is best achieved by very firmly tightening
to insure application of sufficient torque. Tightening must be
sufficient to fully depress and load the center contact of the
socket.

trouble-free operation. For optimum performance,
periodically clean the reflector and refractor with a
non-abrasive cleaner.
