CLEANING AND CARE
WARNING!
All cleaning should be performed with power completely removed from the luminaire. Never remove
protective covers. Wear appropriate protective eye wear and gloves when cleaning the fixture. All service and
maintenance, other than described herein, should be performed by qualified personnel or Authorized Service Center.
1. Special Cleaning and Care Instructions
Being a solid-state fixture, the PL3 LED Luminaire requires very little routine maintenance by the user. This section
covers portions of the luminaire that can be removed for cleaning.
The PL3 Luminaire requires special care when it comes to cleaning the front lens assembly. Additional care needs to
be taken with the plastic components because they are much easier to scratch or damage than glass.
WARNING!
Do not use acidic solutions, such as ammonia-based cleaners, acetone, or other harsh solvents on or
near the PL3 LED Luminaire. These types of cleaners and solvents will attack the luminaire’s polymers and will
permanently damage the optics or housings of the fixture.
The following is a list of cleaning materials required to care for your PL3 LED Luminaire:
• Lint free lens tissue
• Lint or powder free gloves
• Mild soap solution comprised of 1 to 2% mild detergent and 98 - 99% distilled water. If mild soap solution does
not clean after several attempts, reagent grade isopropyl alcohol may be used.*
Note:
*Reagent grade isopropyl alcohol is good to use on the PL3 LED Luminaire plastic optics with anti-reflection
coatings.
If the lens is still dirty after using isopropyl alcohol, for instance if fingerprints or oil is just redistributed and not
cleaned off the optic, then a mild soap and water solution can be used to gently wash the lens. Repeat the cleaning
with isopropyl alcohol to eliminate streaks and soap residue.
If you have any questions regarding the use or care of your PL3 LED Luminaire, please contact Philips Selecon
technical support or your local Authorized Dealer.
2. Lens Cleaning
Front Lens (Exterior)
To clean the exterior front lens:
Step 1. Turn off luminaire and allow to cool completely.
Step 2. Apply a small amount of reagent grade isopropyl alcohol to lint-free lens tissue.
Step 3. Wipe all debris, dirt, fingerprints, etc. from lens.
Step 4. Using a second lint-free lens tissue, wipe off any alcohol residue.
