3 LAMP OPERATION
3.1 POWER
AC
Operation of the Q-LED II requires an input voltage between 0
– 120VAC 50/60Hz. The
lamp draws 150 VA of power at maximum light intensity. Maximum light intensity is
measured at 120 VAC. They begin to output light at 70 VAC (typical).
DC
Although the Q-LED is intended to be an AC powered light, it can also be powered by
DC power. The 120 VAC version can run off of DC power from 0-160 VDC. Maximum
light intensity is measured at 160 VDC. They begin to output light at 95 VDC (typical).
3.2 TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
The Q-LED II is electronically protected from overheating via a thermal cut-off switch.
The light will run for approximately 4 minutes in air (at an ambient temperature of 20°C
(68°F)) before automatically powering down. There is no reset; the light will
automatically re-illuminate once it has cooled to a safe operating temperature.
3.3 RECOMMENDED OPERATION
The thermal protection is intended as a failsafe feature to protect the light from
unintentional damage from extended use in air. It is not recommended to intentionally
run the light out of water for any extended period as it will reduce the product lifespan.
