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 lamp has

had ample time to cool. Remember, lamps are not covered under

warranty conditions.

UV RADIATION: This fixture 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 switching 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 a 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

lamp should always be replaced at the end of their recommended duty cycle. Extreme

caution should be used when operated this or any fixture fitted with a gas discharge lamp.

Never open this fixture while in use!

During the initial operation of this fixture, a light smoke or smell may emit from the interior of

the fixture. This is a normal process and is caused by excess paint in the interior of the

casing burning off from the heat associated with the lamp and will decrease gradually over

time.

This device falls under protection-class 1. Therefore it is essential that the device be

grounded properly.

Qualified personnel should perform all electrical connections.

Be sure the available voltage matches the voltage requirements of the unit.

Be sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged. If the power cord is damaged, replace

it immediately with a new one of similar power rating.

procedure.
