LAMP INSTALLATION

CAUTION

Risk of burn

• Allow lamp/fixture to cool before

handling

WARNING

Risk of burn

• 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. Replace blackened

lamps immediately.

Lamp Tightness-Mogul Base Lamp: The lamp should be

securely inserted to the NEMA-EEI specified torque of 35

inch-pounds (3.95 N•m), which is best achieved by very

firm tightening sufficient to fully depress and load the

center contact of the socket.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

It will occasionally be necessary to clean the outside of

the refractor to maintain light levels. Frequency of cleaning

will depend on ambient dirt level and minimum light level

which is acceptable to the user. The refractor should be

washed in a solution of warm water and any mild,

nonabrasive household detergent, rinsed with clean water

and wiped dry. Should the optical assembly become dirty

on the inside, wipe the reflector and clean the refractor in

the above manner.

The light output of a luminaire is also dependent on the

age of the lamp. In applications where the light level is

critical, it may be desirable to replace lamps before they

burn out. The lamp manufacturer can provide data show-

ing how the lamp light output decreases with use.
