Important Information

Follow these simple guidelines, to protect against injury and prolong the life of your Polaris AfterDark®
light driver.

• The light driver operates on 120VAC, 60Hz. Do not attempt to alter the unit to operate on any other

voltage.

• Always turn off the power supply to the light driver before removing the cover.

• Keep the ventilation slots at the bottom of the unit clear of leaves and debris.

• Do not sit or stand on the light driver, or place anything on top of it.

• Do not submerge the light driver in water or operate it while it is buried in snow. The unit must be

ventilated at all times to avoid damage and voiding of the warranty.

• Do not allow children to play with the light driver.

• The light driver is equipped with a metal-halide lamp which builds brightness gradually. It may take

as long as 2 minutes for the light intensity to peak. If the light driver is shut off after warming up, it
may take up to two minutes to regain full intensity.

• Use only Polaris lamp #AD300 to replace the bulb in this light driver. Failure to do so could result in

bodily injury or damage to the light driver.

• Install the light driver at least five feet (1.5 meters) from the pool, spa or hot tub.

• The Polaris After Dark light driver is designed to work with genuine Polaris fiber optic cable only.

Polaris is not responsible for damage to non-Polaris fiber optic cable.
