CLEANING
SGM fixtures with IP65 or IP66-rating do not need any cleaning procedures inside the fixture. However, cleaning the
front lens may be needed to achieve the maximum light output after exposure to dust, sand, or dirt. The exterior
housing can also be cleaned to get a better look. To maintain adequate cooling, fans must be cleaned periodically.
Whenever necessary, clean the fixture using a soft cloth dampened with a solution of water and a mild detergent. Do
not use products that contain solvents, abrasives, or caustic agents for cleaning, as they can cause damage to hard-
ware, cables, and connectors.
The level of cleaning required will vary greatly depending on the operating environment and installation. Therefore, it
is recommended to do frequent check-ups the first few weeks of operation to see how often cleaning is necessary.
