Power
Power is connected to the fixture with an IEC power inlet and cord.
Before applying power to fixture, set the power switch to “OFF” and
verify input voltage matches the power source voltage. Check all power
cords to verify they are of proper type and sufficient rating for the
equipment attached. For protection against electric shock, fixture must be
connected to suitable earth ground. The listed current rating is its average draw
under normal conditions. All fixtures must be powered directly from a switched
circuit. This fixture cannot be run on rheostat or dimmer circuits - even if used
solely for a 0% to 100% switching. Consult a qualified electrician if there are any
concerns about proper connection to power.
Voltage Selection
This Fixture is equipped with an Auto Switching Power Supply. It will automatically adjust to any
line voltage within the specified range.
LED Engine
This unit is equipped with a Long Life LED Engine that is aligned at the factory. There is no
need for the user to change lamps or perform any alignment.
Do not stare directly into the light source.

any position provided there is adequate room for movement and ventilation. Mount the fixture
securely using an appropriate clamp and a safety cable. Safety cables must always be attached
to the fixture. Do not use handles as secondary mounting points. Do not mount in a place
where the fixture will be exposed to rain, high humidity, extreme temperature changes or
restricted ventilation. Do not obstruct the vents or fans. Keep fixture a minimum of 3.3ft (1m)
