DESCRIPTION

This product is UL listed E78414. This product uses a sirocco fan driven by a capacitor motor. The motor is designed to have an extended service life with reduced energy consumption.

It also incorporates a thermal-cut off for safety. The trim ring is a spring-loaded, quick remove type.

A damper for preventing air counterflow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity sirocco fan developed to reduce the noise level. The lighting unit is an energy-saving, lighting device that uses one 18W fluorescent lamp and produces

almost the same illumination as a standard 75W incandescent lamp. This product contains a self-ballasted fluorescent lamp and complies with Part 18 of the FCC rules as consumer RF lighting device. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
