Unpacking Instructions 

Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that 

all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and 

retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself 

shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture 

must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box 

and packing. 

AC Power 

To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate of 

the fixture or refer to the fixture

s specifications chart. A fixture

s listed current rating is its average 

current draw under normal conditions. 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. Before 

applying power to a fixture, check that the source voltage matches the 

fixture

s requirement. Check the fix

ture 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 power select switch on your unit matches the line voltage applied. All 
fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.

same type spare parts. 

 

Don

t connect the device to a dimmer pack.

 

 

Make sure power cord is never crimped or damaged. 

 

Never disconnect power cord by pulling or tugging on the 
cord. 

 

Avoid direct eye exposure to lamp while it is on.
