2. Avoiding damage

Do not point the front of the fixture towards the sun or other strong light sources. The
front lens focuses and concentrates light just like a magnifying glass. Strong light can
cause internal damage to the fixture, melting components or starting an internal fire
within seconds.
Figure 1. Avoiding damage from light sources
Damage can occur whether the fixture is powered on or off. See Figure 1. Damage
can also occur if the light hits the front of the fixture at an angle: the fixture does not
need to be pointing directly at the sun or other light source.
To avoid problems from strong light sources:
• Do not expose the front of a fixture to sunlight or any other strong light source.
• For outdoor applications during daylight, make sure that the front face of any fixture is
shielded or points away from the sun, even when not in use.
• Avoid pointing other high-powered beam lights directly at the fixture.
Do not pick up or carry the fixture by the front lens bezel, as it is not designed to
support the weight of the fixture. The LCD display is also fragile. Picking up or
supporting the fixture in these places could result in damage that is not covered by the
warranty.
Use only original spare parts. Any structural modification of the system will void the
product warranty.
Protect the front lens from dirt, dust and other contaminants. Do not touch the front
lens. Airborne particles and grease from your fingers can become baked onto the lens
and difficult to remove.
Clean optical components only as directed in this manual (see 'Caring for your
product' on page 36). Oils, solvents, and other chemicals commonly used for cleaning
can damage the lens coatings and surfaces.
Do not drop the product or expose it to mechanical stress.
Do not expose the product to heat (from other lighting fixtures for example).
