Care and Maintenance
All luminaires are prepared with a powder-coated finish. The finish on exterior luminaires may weather over time,
depending on the environmental conditions at the installation site. Proper care of the luminaires will maintain their
performance and appearance. Follow a regular maintenance schedule to retain optimal light output and thermal
performance. Remove any dirt, leaves and other foreign debris from luminaires housing. Wipe the optical lenses with a
clean, dry, cotton cloth to remove dust and other contaminants. A non-abrasive polycarbonate cleanser may be used
periodically.
