Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulationsonyourpurchaseofonesuper-cool6-in-1LEDPARcan!Nowthat
you’ve got your LB Hex™ (or hopefully, more!), you should carefully unpack the box
and check the contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If
anything looks as if it has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and
keep the packing material for inspection. Again, please save the carton and all packing
materials.Ifaxturemustbereturnedtothefactory,itisimportantthatthexturebe
returned in the original factory box and packing.
Powering Up!
Allxturesmustbepowereddirectlyoffaswitchedcircuitandcannot be run off a
rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer
channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.
AC Voltage Switch -Notallxtureshaveavoltageselectswitch,sopleaseverifythat
thextureyoureceiveissuitableforyourlocalpowersupply.Seethelabelonthe
xtureorrefertothexture’sspecicationschartformoreinformation.Axture’s
listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the
xtureordevicecarefullytomakesurethatifavoltageselectionswitchexiststhatitis
set to the correct line voltage you will use.
Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit matches the line
voltage applied. Damage to your xture may result if the line voltage applied
does not match the voltage indicated on the voltage selector switch. All
xtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).
