Maximizing the life of your lamp To ensure the longest and most efficient use of the lamp always wait between 10 to 15 minutes before re-applying power after a shutdown. Failure to do so could result in premature aging of the lamp and failure to the electronics that drive it. Never turn off the power to the unit while the lamp is striking.
Lamp You may have to install a lamp prior to the initial operation of the fixture. An MSI575 high intensity discharge lamp is included. Warning! When replacing the lamp, please wait 15 minutes after powering down to allow the unit to cool down! Always disconnect from main power prior to lamp replacement.
