Fixture Maintenance

To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, the user should clean the fixtures
frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning
frequency. As a rule, the user should clean the fixtures at least twice a month. Dust build up
reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced light
source life
For fixtures containing external optical lenses, the user should clean them periodically to
optimize light output. The cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture
operates. Damp, smoky, or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt
on the unit's optics.
To clean a fixture, follow the recommendations below:
· Unplug the fixture from power.
· Wait until the fixture is cold.
· Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the
external vents and reachable internal components.
· Clean all external glass optics and glass surfaces with a mild solution of glass cleaner or
isopropyl alcohol, and a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
· Clean all plastic surfaces, including LED lenses, with mild soapy water and a soft, lint free
cotton cloth. You could also use a lens cleaning tissue.
· Apply the solution directly to the cloth or tissue and drag any dirt and grime to the outside
of the lens.
· Gently polish the external glass surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
