Do not spray the light with chemicals. Clean the light with a damp cloth using water only. Before cleaning or performing maintenance, unplug the light from the wall socket, or turn off at the breaker. GENERAL CARE The FGI Uniformity Pro product line is a passively cooled LED grow light. There are no moving parts. - Page 3 They are sealed and designed for damp and wet environments and for maintenance-free performance. Some basic care will keep your system operating at peak performance during the life of your FGI lamp.
