THESE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING
THE PRODUCT
The TSL-800 is far more than a direct 1:1 replacement for traditional 1000w
SE & DE HPS fixtures, it is an UPGRADE! We have thought ahead and
future proofed this fixture, and also eliminated any need for diode lenses
which will yellow and deteriorate the diodes more quickly. Utilizing our
patented diode deployment allows us to achieve the desired angles of light
distribution and an upgraded PAR output resulting in up to a 30% PAR
increase using our new GC 3KF Bloom Phase spectrum. We have also further
upgraded the Cooling capabilities by up to 40% with our new patented
passive thermal management design. To make replacement of existing HID
fixtures even more stress free, we will also be providing multiple mounting
options for existing popular set-ups. Compatible with the Growers Choice
Master Controller or CPS (Central Power Solution) this revolutionary new
LED fixture can be operated by almost any level grower and is scalable for
all cultivations, with the greatest yield potential in the industry.

Safety
Warnings:
The TSL-800 is a passively cooled
system with no moving components.
Do not try to open or disassemble
the fixture, it contains no service
parts inside. Doing so may cause
harm to the fixture and void warranty.

• Always adhere to the local rules and
regulations when installing or using the fixture.
• Wearing protective gloves and glasses is
recommended during installation.
• Always disconnect from power source before
performing any maintenance to the fixture.
• The fixture will get hot during operation. Do
not touch while the light is on. Keep this
product away from children.
• Always allow at least 10 minutes for the
fixture to cool down before handling.
• Do not touch the LED diodes.
• Keep the power cord away from hot
surfaces.
• Do not plug this system into a supply
voltage other than what is instructed on
the fixture.
• Do not use the fixture when the power
cord is damaged.
• Do not use the fixtures if the unit has
been dropped, and there is damage to the
enclosure or bars.
• Only for damp location
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock. To reduce the possibility of serious injury, always take
the proper precautions and unplug the fixture before moving or cleaning.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of
overheating or fire, never
place operating fixtures
face down on a flush
surface. Always allow for
adequate ventilation of
fixtures and power supplies.
CAUTION – RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY
Disconnect power before servicing or installing fixture. Lighted fixture
may be hot. To reduce risk of injury, turn off or disconnect power and
allow to cool before handling. Fixture must be grounded in accordance
with appropriate codes. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or
death. Be sure all power is off prior to installing fixture.
CAUTION
LED and heat sink surfaces
may be hot. Allow sufficient
cooling time before handling.
CAUTION
To prevent eye damage,
avoid looking directly at the
unshielded LEDs.
