LAMP INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Risk of burn
•
Allow lamp/fixture to cool before
handling
WARNING
Risk of burn
•
Do not touch operating luminaire
Use only lamps specified on nameplate. Observe
lamp manufacturer’s recommendations and
restrictions on lamp operation, particularly ballast
type, burning position, etc. Replace blackened
lamps immediately.
Lamp Tightness-Mogul Base Lamp
: The lamp should be
securely inserted to the NEMA-EEI specified torque of 35
inch-pounds (3.95 N•m), which is best achieved by very
firm tightening sufficient to fully depress and load the
center contact of the socket.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
It will occasionally be necessary to clean the outside of
the refractor to maintain light levels. Frequency of cleaning
will depend on ambient dirt level and minimum light level
which is acceptable to the user. The refractor should be
washed in a solution of warm water and any mild,
nonabrasive household detergent, rinsed with clean water
and wiped dry. Should the optical assembly become dirty
on the inside, wipe the reflector and clean the refractor in
the above manner.
The light output of a luminaire is also dependent on the
age of the lamp. In applications where the light level is
critical, it may be desirable to replace lamps before they
burn out. The lamp manufacturer can provide data show-
ing how the lamp light output decreases with use.
