Maintenance 

Dust  build  up  reduces  light  output  performance  and  can  cause  overheating.  This  can 

lead to reduction of the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum 

performance and minimize wear, you should clean your lighting products at least twice a 

month.  However,  be  aware  that  usage  and  environmental  conditions  could  be 

contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency. 
To clean this product, follow the instructions below: 

  Unplug the product from power.  

  Wait until the product is cold. 

  Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on 

the external surface/vents.  

  Clean all lens surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or 

isopropyl alcohol.  

  Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue. 

  Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the lens surface.  

  Gently polish the lens surfaces until they are free of haze and lint. 

 

 

 

Always dry the lens surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
