and offering trade-in options so we can recycle components
from any lights you may want to upgrade.
We actively encourage our employees and our customers to
be responsible stewards of the planet. Our goal is for
everything we produce to be 100% recyclable and/or
reusable.
All Nila products are assembled and tested with pride at our
Altadena oces, and they’re designed to provide a lifetime
of reliable service to you. If you happen to encounter a
problem with your xture, please contact us at nila.com/

POWER INPUT OPTIONS
Your Nila 150 light xture has a universal switching power
supply that works with 100-240V AC input. Make sure that the
main power switch is in the OFF position before attaching or
removing the power cord from the xture.
The xture will work anywhere in the world as long as you use
the appropriate plug type for the region. A grounded power
source is always necessary for safe operation.
Your Nila 150 light xture is not designed to be used with
external dimmers.
IMPORTANT: Your Nila 150 xture is neither
weatherproof nor weather resistant. It is intended
for indoor use only. Using it in any sort of
precipitation will likely damage your xture and void
your warranty.

integrated fresnel-style lens produces a soft
beam with no color fringing and no multiple
shadows.
