The ballast needs to be properly grounded and the main power switch is in the OFF position.
The lamp with proper wattage is fitted into the head fixture.
Make sure the AC Power is not higher than the max power of the ballast.
The safety glass shield is in good working order with no cracks or anomalies. The safety glass is in the proper position and there is a safety wire guard.
Periodic Fixture Inspection

frequency may need to be increased if the fixture has endured rough treatment. All internal components should only be replaced with Lightstar

• The lamps should be checked every 100 working hours. The lamp should be changed if the lamp becomes deformed or damaged, otherwise
explosion might occur. Defer to instructions provided by the lamp manufacturer.
