Warnings 

 

1.

 

This product is intended for indoor use only! 

2.

 

Keep out of the reach of children! 

3.

 

Make sure power cord is never crimped or damaged. 

4.

 

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

5.

 

Always make sure that you are connecting to the proper voltage and that the line voltage you are 
connecting to is not higher than that stated on decal or rear panel of the fixture. 

6.

 

Do not disassemble this electrical product; there are no user serviceable parts inside. 

7.

 

Always disconnect from power source before servicing or replacing lamp or fuse and be sure to 
replace with same lamp source. 

8.

 

To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not expose fixture to rain or moisture. 

9.

 

Avoid direct eye exposure. Gas discharge lamps generate UV radiation. Never operate the lamp 
without appropriate protection as it could damage skin and eyes. These lamps operate at high 
pressures and there is always a slight risk of tube rupture. The risk of rupture increases with age, 
temperature and improper handling of the lamp. These lamps also generate UV radiation. The 
UV radiation that is emitted extends well below 287nm, which is considered the point at which 
the UV radiation becomes imminently harmful. Exposure to this short wave UV should be 
limited. If aligning a lamp, care must be taken to reduce the exposure time to the lamp. Never 
look directly at any lamp while it is powered on. Read the booklet that accompanies each lamp 
and heed attention to the warnings concerning exposure to skin and eyes. Use appropriate eye 
protection to block all UV rays. Do not use ordinary sunglasses.
