Reflector replacement
The HortiStar HR96 reflector is a precision high efficiency reflector that
should be handled with care. If it is damaged or deformed you should
replace it. We recommend to change the reflector every year for optimal
results. Replacement reflectors are available from your Gavita reseller.
To replace the reflector remove the lamp first. Pull up the lever at the end
of the reflector bracket while holding the reflector at that end. The reflector
will unlatch and can be removed now. When inserting the new reflector
make sure the notches are in the appropriate holes.
Always let your lamp
and reflector cool down first before changing the reflector to prevent
injuries.

Maintenance
Keep the bracket clean from dust and dirt with a dry or damp cloth. When using a damp cloth please disconnect
the power first. We recommend you check your electrical connections regularly: check if the plugs are inserted
completely and don’t show any (contact) damage, check if the wiring is undamaged and that the wire ends
connected to the reflector are tightly secured in their terminals. For stranded wire always use cable end sleeves.
The Miro aluminum reflector should not be cleaned with any detergent or water, use a soft dry soft cloth to avoid
scratching the material. Do not touch the reflective material. Replace the Miro reflector each year together with
your lamp. Do not use sulfur vaporizers when lamps are operating and do not use sulfur vaporizers or water
misters close to your reflectors. Sulfur and calcium deposit will damage your reflector and decrease the
efficiency of your reflector.
You can not clean the reflector without damaging it. Wiping it carefully with a soft cloth is the best you can do.
Never use polishes, detergents, sprays or normal tap water when wiping your reflector. If you need a damp cloth,
use a completely clean soft cloth with demi water only, or pure alcohol.
We recommend to change your reflector once a year, together with the lamp.
Troubleshooting
If your lamp does not fire up first check if the lamp is inserted correctly before restarting. Then check all wires
and connector. If all connections are correct and the lamp still does not start check the ballast or replace the
lamp.
