CONNECT THE YELLOW CORD TO ONE POWER STRIP AND THE BLUE AND 

BLACK CORDS TO A DIFFERENT POWER STRIPS OR OUTLETS 

This allows the yellow cord to be turned “on” for 20 seconds before the blue or black 

power cords are turned “on”. 

 

D.   CONNECTION THE BLUE OR BLACK CORD TO 115 V 50 Hz or 60 Hz POWER 

The blue or black power cords can be plugged into a switched power outlet or into a timer for 
remotely operating the 

Dual TripleBright II

.  One such timer is the T-20 Timer made by UV 

SYSTEMS.  The rocker switches on the light can be used to turn each lamp "on" or "off" 
rather than unplugging the blue or black power cords from the outlet.  The rocker switches are 
behind the baffle on the end where the power cords enter the light. 

 

E.   COOLING FAN 

The 

Dual TripleBright II

 has a built in cooling fan to maintain the lamps at its most efficient 

operating conditions by maintaining an optimum mercury vapor pressure inside the lamp.  By 
operating at it most efficient mercury vapor pressure the UV output does not decrease as the 
lamp warms up.  This is a common problem with many other display lights in that they heat 
up and the UV output decrease, but not with the 

Dual TripleBright II. 

 The 

Dual 

TripleBright II

 should be installed in a display or enclosure that has at least two openings of 

about 12 square inches at each end of each light (24 inches total per light).  This will allow 
cooler air to be drawn in at one opening near the intake and warm air to be exhausted at the 
other end by the other opening.  Note the fan only comes “on” when lamp (b) is operating.  No
