Getting It Out Of The Box

Reanimation.  One of mankind’s strangest pursuits.  And yet this light 

fi xture has nothing whatsoever to do with that.  It is, however, a very 

cool LED animation effect.  SO... now that you’ve been Reanimated™, 

you should carefully unpack the box and check the contents to ensure 

that all parts are present and in good condition. If anything looks as 

if it has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and 

keep the packing material for inspection.  Again, please save the car-

ton and all packing materials. If a fi xture must be returned to the fac-

tory, it is important that the fi xture be returned in the original factory 
box and packing.

Powering Up!

All fi xtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot 

be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even 

if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 

100% switch.  

AC Voltage Switch - Not all fi xtures have a voltage select switch, so 

please verify that the fi xture you receive is suitable for your local pow-

er supply.  See the label on the fi xture or refer to the fi xture’s specifi -

cations chart for more information.  A fi xture’s listed current rating is 

its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the fi xture or 

device carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection switch exists 

that it is set to the correct line voltage you will use.

Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit 

matches the line voltage applied. Damage to your fi xture may 

result if the line voltage applied does not match the voltage 

indicated on the voltage selector switch. All fi xtures must be 
connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).
