range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to
the back plate of the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart. A fixture’s
listed current rating indicates its average current draw under normal conditions.
Always connect this product to a protected circuit
(circuit breaker or fuse),
making sure that it has
an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
Never connect this product to
a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit,
even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.
