2. Avoiding damage

Important! Follow the directions in this section carefully, or the fixture may suffer
damage that is not covered by the product warranty.

General precautions

Do not drop KNV Dot and Line products or expose them to mechanical stress.
Do not expose products to heat (from other lighting fixtures for example).
Clean optical components only as directed. Oils, solvents, and other chemicals
commonly used for cleaning can damage the lens coatings and surfaces.
Protect the LCD display and control panel on the PSU from shocks, or they may suffer
damage that is not covered by the product warranty.
Use only original spare parts. Do not make any structural modifications, or you will void
the product warranty.

Avoiding damage from light sources

Do not point the front of the fixture towards the sun or other strong light sources. 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 the fixture to sunlight or any other strong light source.
• In outdoor applications during daylight, make sure that the front face of the fixture is
shielded or points away from the sun, even when not in use.
• Do not aim other high-powered beam lights directly at the fixture.
