CLEANING AND CARE
WARNING!
All cleaning should be performed with power completely removed from the luminaire. Never remove
protective covers when luminaire is powered. Wear appropriate protective eye wear and gloves when cleaning the
fixture. All service and maintenance, other than described herein, should be performed by a qualified technician or
Authorized Service Center.
1. Special Cleaning and Care Instructions
Being a solid-state fixture, and unlike most fixtures, the PL1 LED Luminaire requires very little routine maintenance
by the user. This section covers portions of the luminaire that can be removed for cleaning.
The PL1 Luminaire requires special care when it comes to cleaning front lens assembly. Additional care needs to be
taken with the plastic components because they are much easier to scratch or damage than glass.
The following is a list of cleaning materials required to care for your PL1 LED Luminaire:
• Lint free lens tissue
• Lint or powder free gloves
• Reagent grade isopropyl alcohol*
• A mild soap solution.
Note:
*Reagent grade isopropyl alcohol is good to use on the PL1 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.
WARNING!
Under no circumstances should ammonia-based cleaners, acetone, or other harsh solvents be used on or
near the PL1 LED Luminaire. These types of cleaners or solvents can permanently damage the optics or housings of
the fixture.
If you have any questions regarding the use or care of your PL1 LED Luminaire, please contact Philips Selecon
technical support or your local Authorized Dealer.
