Regular maintenance and cleaning is essential to get the best performance and service
lifetime from your fixture.
Suggested maintenance intervals
We suggest the maintenance schedule below, but bear in mind that cleaning intervals
depend on the operating environment. Our suggested cleaning intervals are based on
our experience with typical installations – please check the fixture to assess the need for
cleaning and adjust intervals as necessary.

Cleaning
The buildup of dust, dirt and other airborne particles will reduce the fixture’s light output.
It will also prevent the fixture from cooling correctly, and this will reduce the fixture’s
lifetime. The rate of dirt buildup will vary depending on environmental factors such as
airborne dust, use of smoke machines, airflow from ventilation systems, etc. The fixture’s
cooling fans will accelerate buildup, and any smoke particles that are present in the
atmosphere will increase the tendency for dirt to clog.
To get the best performance and lifetime from the fixture, inspect it regularly and clean
it as soon as you see signs of dirt buildup. Assess the operating environment each time
you begin to use the fixture. In dusty or smoky conditions, inspect the fixture after a few
hours and check it frequently – the fixture may attract dirt faster than you expect. Draw
up a cleaning schedule that will make sure that dirt is removed before it can build up.
Use the following guidelines:
●
Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
●
Do not use solvents, abrasives or any other aggressive product to clean the fixture.
●
Use a vacuum cleaner and soft brush to remove dust and loose particles from
surfaces and air vents. Prevent the blades of cooling fans from turning before you
aim a vacuum at them, or you may spin the fan too fast and damage it.
