• For optimal performance, replace HPS lamps every 18 months and MH lamps every 12 months.
• If transferring your plants from a cooler lighting system, raise lights 12”higher than recommended
and increase exposure times gradually over a few days to prevent sunburning your plants.
• Light output may seem to wobble - this is to be expected with new bulbs and light should stabilize
after the rst 100 hours of burn time.
• Lights take about 15-20 minutes to reach fullest intensity.

Assembly Instructions
1. First, check and re-check that all components are unplugged.
2. Attach any hangers supplied with your light xture and make sure they are securely connected.
3. Next, suspend your light xture from hooks anchored securely into ceiling studs. If you do not have, or cannot
locate studs, use expansion anchors and hooks that are rated to hold at least 50lbs. a piece and test your hanging
system BEFORE turning your grow kit on to make sure it will support the weight of your light. If you will be using
the rollers provided, see the YOYO information sheet for installation instructions. You may also use durable rope,
cord or chain that is strong enough to take the weight of the unit.
Note: Keep power cord from touching xture by using the fastener provided to steer the cord up and away from
the xture. You will need to divert the cord to a hook or wall fastener (not included) and then down to the ballast.
Make sure your cord points up and away from the light.
4. Next, with everything still unplugged, install the bulb by screwing it into the socket. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
5. Remove any dirt or ngerprints by cleaning with a mild window cleaner. REMEMBER: Never attempt to clean or
touch a warm bulb! This could result in minor burns or cause the bulb to shatter. Always allow bulbs and other
components at least 20 minutes to cool before handling.
6. Finally, be sure you choose a level, dry surface on which to place your ballast. Keep away from ammable gas or
liquids and water. Ensure there is proper ventilation around the ballast and that the operating temperature can fall
within the ballast's parameters (See Ballast info sheet for more information).
Grow Light Troubleshooting
Trouble: Light will not turn on.
Remedies:
Conrm that the light is fully screwed into the socket but not overtightened.
Conrm that your light's wattage matches the wattage of your ballast.
Conrm that the type of bulb is compatible with your ballast.
If these three conditions are met and your light is still not working, replace bulb.
Note: It is quite common for bits of glass to be present inside your grow bulb. If you notice this, check the outside of
the bulb (when cool) for cracks or breakage, and if present, replace bulb, making sure to remove ngerprints and
debris after inspection or installation.
