IMPORTANT: Condensation inside the fixture is a common occurrence due to the expanding and condensing of the
trapped air inside the fixture as it is cycled on and off. When the lamp is energized during the evening hours, moisture
on the inside of lens will burn off as fixture heats up. It will reappear after power is shut off and the inside air condenses
during cooling. A large majority of this moisture can be avoided by following the installation guidelines as described in
the housing installation instructions. Always relamp fixture during low humidity periods. Before closing fixture, energize
the lamp for approximately five (5) minutes to dry air inside fixture. Remove desiccant from zip lock bag and place in
reflector compartment. Install lens and lens frame as described below.
1. Remove debris shield from
housing & discard. (Shield is
aluminum, please recycle)
!
2. Place dessicant package inside
housing before connecting quick
disconnect.
3. Connect housing quick-disconnect
to reflector assembly quick-
disconnect.

entry for ground water.
MAINTENANCE:
▼A regularly scheduled maintenance program must be established to keep fixtures clean. Dried leaves and paper
can burn if allowed to accumulate on high temperature lenses. A buildup of dirt and other material on the lens may
cause excessive temperatures within the fixture.
▼Clean lens gasket and frame inside and out. Before closing fixture, be sure gasket and gasket surfaces are clean
and dry. Make sure no dirt has fallen into screw holes.
▼Install lens gasket and lens frame. Coat screws with silicone grease and tighten progressively and evenly until
tight.

coloration when the product is new. This is normal and expected. These color differences will be eliminated shortly after installation
through the normal brass oxidation process.

ship, and failure due to corrosion, for a period of 7 years from date of sale.
Aluminum Landscape Components
Aluminum Landscape fixture components not in direct contact with soil, shall be warranted against defects of material and/or
workmanship for a period of 3 years from date of sale. Aluminum fixture components in direct contact with soil shall be
warranted from defects of material and failure from corrosion for a period of 1 year from date of sale.
Stainless Steel Components
Stainless steel landscape components (Lens Rings) installed in the outdoor environment shall show signs of oxidation after 5 to 6 years of
install and is dependent on the application and its environment. A proper maintenance and cleaning program will extend the beauty of
the stainless steel.

MAINTENANCE OF VISIBLE CONDENSATION ON LENSES:
▼ Never install or maintain fixtures in the rain, or on days with very high relative humidity (over 80%).
▼After insuring that all water and visible moisture has been dried out of the fixture, and before sealing the fixture:
1. Install the lens ring and hand tighten all fasteners.
2. Start the fixture and allow it to reach operating temperature (30 minutes or longer).
3. With the fixture still operating, loosen all lens ring fasteners and lift the lens ring slightly (no more than A"), leaving it propped open
and "breathing" for roughly 10 minutes with the lamp operating. This will exhale the moist air trapped inside the fixture housing.
4. With the fixture still operating (illuminated) and hot, place the lens in its closed position and completely tighten all fasteners. This
process will evaporate a great deal of the atmospheric moisture from the interior of the fixture, and will reduce visible condensation to a
minimum. In order to maintain this, this procedure must be repeated any time the luminaire is opened for maintenance.
It is highly
recommended that an installer wear gloves to protect from burns caused by hot lens surfaces.
▼Should water be found inside of the fixture that has entered through the conduit system, it is essential that the conduit system be
cleaned, dried out and resealed before the fixture is re-sealed.
▼Every effort must be made to insure the fixture interiors remain completely dry during installation. The debris shields provided with
the fixtures are not water tight. If flooding is anticipated during the installation phase, extra effort must be made to isolate the fixtures
from water intrusion, or they must be sealed off with plastic sheet and tape to prevent water entry.
▼Should the appearance of condensation increase in density or size of droplets, it is likely that water is entering the fixture. Inspect
all gaskets, conduit entries, and interior covers. Once the leak has been detected and repaired, repeat the sealing process described
(#2 above).
