KIM LIGHTING LIMITED WARRANTY
When installed in accordance with Kim Installation Instructions and accepted trade practices, the following shall apply:
General Product Limited Warranty Coverage
All material and component parts used in the manufacture of Kim Products, are warranted to be free from defects of material
and/or workmanship for a period of 1 year from date of sale, with the following exceptions:
Auxiliary Equipment
All auxiliary equipment (such as lamps, ballasts, and transformers) provided by and/or included in Kim Products shall carry the
component manufacturer's warranty.
Copper, Bronze and Brass Landscape Components
Copper and Bronze Landscape fixture components shall be warranted against defects of material and/or workmanship, and failure
due to corrosion, for a period of 25 years from date of sale.
Kim Lighting's brass components are constructed from several brass parts that are manufactured by various methods at various times.
Since brass naturally deepens in color as it ages through the normal oxidation process, these parts may exhibit subtle differences in
coloration when the product is new. This is normal and expected. These color differences will be eliminated shortly after installation
through the normal brass oxidation process.
Composite In-Grade Components
Composite In-Grade fixture components installed below grade, shall be warranted against defects of material and/or workman-
ship, and failure due to corrosion, for a period of 7 years from date of sale.
Aluminum Landscape Components
Aluminum Landscape fixture components not in direct contact with soil, shall be warranted against defects of material and/or
workmanship for a period of 3 years from date of sale. Aluminum fixture components in direct contact with soil shall be
warranted from defects of material and failure from corrosion for a period of 1 year from date of sale.
Stainless Steel Components
Stainless steel landscape components (Lens Rings) installed in the outdoor environment shall show signs of oxidation after 5 to 6 years of
install and is dependent on the application and its environment. A proper maintenance and cleaning program will extend the beauty of
the stainless steel.
Limit of Liability and General Conditions
Only products which are installed, used and maintained in accordance with applicable Kim instructions, specifications and
accepted trade practices, are covered by the Kim Warranty. During the warranty period, with proof of purchase, Kim will repair
or replace with the same or similar product, at Kim's option, without charge. Labor costs are the owner's responsibility and are
excluded from this warranty. This warranty is void if the product is modified, tampered with, misapplied, poorly installed,
improperly maintained, or subjected to abnormal conditions.
Repair or replacement as provided under this warranty is the exclusive remedy of the purchaser. This warranty is in lieu of all
other warranties, expressed or implied, including any implied warranty of fitness for a particular application. Kim Lighting shall
not be liable to the purchaser for indirect or consequential damages.

MAINTENANCE OF VISIBLE CONDENSATION ON LENSES:
▼
Never install or maintain fixtures in the rain, or on days with very high relative humidity (over 80%).
▼
After insuring that all water and visible moisture has been dried out of the fixture, and before sealing the fixture:
1. Install the lens ring and hand tighten all fasteners.
2. Start the fixture and allow it to reach operating temperature (30 minutes or longer).
3. With the fixture still operating, loosen all lens ring fasteners and lift the lens ring slightly (no more than
A
"), leaving it propped open
and "breathing" for roughly 10 minutes with the lamp operating. This will exhale the moist air trapped inside the fixture housing.
4. With the fixture still operating (illuminated) and hot, place the lens in its closed position and completely tighten all fasteners. This
process will evaporate a great deal of the atmospheric moisture from the interior of the fixture, and will reduce visible condensation to a
minimum. In order to maintain this, this procedure must be repeated any time the luminaire is opened for maintenance.
It is highly
recommended that an installer wear gloves to protect from burns caused by hot lens surfaces.
▼
Should water be found inside of the fixture that has entered through the conduit system, it is essential that the conduit system be
cleaned, dried out and resealed before the fixture is re-sealed.
▼
Every effort must be made to insure the fixture interiors remain completely dry during installation. The debris shields provided with
the fixtures are not water tight. If flooding is anticipated during the installation phase, extra effort must be made to isolate the fixtures
from water intrusion, or they must be sealed off with plastic sheet and tape to prevent water entry.
▼
Should the appearance of condensation increase in density or size of droplets, it is likely that water is entering the fixture. Inspect
all gaskets, conduit entries, and interior covers. Once the leak has been detected and repaired, repeat the sealing process described
(#2 above).
