Your Verilux lamps are made from high-quality materials that will last for many
years with a minimum of care.
WARNING:
To prevent risk of shock or personal injury when cleaning
lamp, make sure you have turned off and unplugged the lamp and allowed
sufficient time for the bulb to cool.
CAUTION :
Clean only with a soft dry cloth – do not use solvents or
cleaners containing abrasives or ammonia.
CAUTION :
After cleaning the lamp, wipe away all moisture and let the
lamp dry completely before restoring power.
Care and Cleaning
Before requesting service on your Verilux lamps, please:
• Make sure all power connectors, cords and plugs are inserted fully and securely.
• Be sure the bulb is securely seated in the socket. (See pages 8 and 9.)
• Make sure there is power to the wall outlet, or try another outlet – one that is not
connected to a dimmer.

Check bulb for blackening/darkening at bottom of spiral where it joins the
base (an indicator of bulb life) and replace bulb.
Be sure the bulb is securely seated in the socket. Repeat the bulb
installation process.
Always unplug lamp before performing
bulb replacement or installation.
Sometimes when a new bulb is turned on for the first time the tubing will
darken, but this will fade after a few minutes.
With older bulbs, darkening of the tubing indicates end of bulb life. (This
doesn’t affect operation except to reduce the amount of light available,
since the phosphor in that area has become inactive.) Bulb replacement
is recommended.
Insert plug securely into wall outlet.
Connect lamp plug only to wall outlet without dimmer switch.
Be sure the bulb is securely seated into the socket. Repeat the bulb
installation process.
Always unplug lamp before performing
bulb replacement or installation.
