INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY TO PERSONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
WARNING - Lamp gets HOT quickly! To reduce the risk of FIRE OR INJURY TO PERSONS:
Do not operate fixture with a missing or damaged lens/lens assembly.
Contact only switch or plug when turning fixture on or off. Do NOT touch hot lens or housing.
Turn off or unplug fixture and allow to cool before relamping. Keep lamp away from combustibles.
Do NOT touch lamp with bare hands at any time, use a soft cloth as oil from skin may damage lamp.
SAFETY WARNING:
ALWAYS TURN FIXTURE OFF/DISCONNECT POWER AND ALLOW TO COOL BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE, INCLUDING RELAMPING AND CLEANING!
This fixture can become very HOT! The fixture housing and lens, especially if it is glass, can become hot enough
to blister hands. Attention should be paid to where the fixture is mounted, particularly if it can be touched by
children or pets. To help prevent premature failure, decreased performance, overheating and risk of fire, keep
fixture and lens clean and free of leaves, mulch, debris and mineral deposits from water. The fixture and lens
can be cleaned using a soft cloth and a solution of mild liquid soap and warm water. Wipe clean and dry with a
soft, lint-free dry cloth. Avoid polishing fixture or lens.
Step 3:
Set aside junction box dirt
cover (retain for future use). Pull
wires through conduit into junction
box. The contractor must pull a
ground wire or make a ground
connection to a metal conduit
system. Place duct seal in the
conduits around the wires.
Failure to properly seal
conduit may allow water
into junction box and
will void the warranty.

RELAMPING
All fixtures ship pre-lamped unless otherwise specified. Fixtures may be relamped in the field or in a
controlled indoor environment. It may be desirable to keep spare lamping modules to field swap. MAKE SURE
POWER IS OFF BEFORE RELAMPING. Remove lens frame, main lens and lens gasket. Inspect gasket for damage
and replace, if necessary.
Relamping indoors: Remove lamping module from main housing and disconnect cordset. Replace lamping
module with a pre-lamped one. Re-seal fixture per Step 8 above - ensure gasket seating surfaces are clean and
free of debris. Take lamping module to work area and relamp per below. Keep this pre-lamped module for
future use.
Relamping in the field: Twist the lens frame on the lamping module and lift up to remove. Remove lamp module
lens and any internal accessory. Replace lamp with a new one of identical electrical characteristics. [NOTE: For
metal halide T6 (G12 base) lamps, Bronzelite recommends using only Philips MasterColor™ lamps or
GE ConstantColor CMH™ lamps. If using a lamp from another manufacturer, ensure it is electrically compatible
with supplied ballast.] For T6 optics, if it is necessary to remove the optics assembly, position the bottom band of
the optics assembly around the four pins indicated in the "T6 Optics - Seating Illustration" below and simply
press-fit into place.
Replace internal accessory (if applicable) and lamp module lens, re-seat lamp module lens
frame and twist to secure. Re-seal the fixture per Step 8 above - ensure gasket seating surfaces are clean and
free of debris.
