Getting It Out Of The Box

 

Congratulations on purchasing one way cool, way flexible, way original LED 

strobe light!  Now that you’ve got your SnowBlind™ (or hopefully, 

Snow 

Blind’s!

), 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 carton and all packing 

materials. If a fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the 

fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.

Powering Up! 

All fixtures 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 fixtures have a voltage select switch, so please 

verify that the fixture you receive is suitable for your local power supply.  See 

the label on the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart for more 

information.  A fixture’s listed current rating is its average current draw under 

normal conditions. Check the fixture 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 fixture may result if the line 

voltage applied does not match the voltage indicated on the voltage 

selector switch. All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a 

suitable Ground (Earthing).
