Preparation
Before beginning assembly, installation or operation of product, make sure all parts are present. Compare
parts with the package contents list and diagram. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to
assemble, install or operate the product. Contact customer service at 305.770.2392.
Prevent Electrical Shock: Carefully Read All Warnings and Instructions First.
Check that the unit has not been damaged during transport.
Safety Information
Read carefully for your protection.
• LM80 tested; waterproof; ETL-rated IP65 for “Wet Locations”.
• WARNING: Although fixture is waterproof, it is not designed or intended to be submerged.
• WARNING: Connect fixture to 110-277V AC, 60Hz power source. Any other connection may void warranty.
• WARNING: Keep away from flammable objects. Do not position fixture within one inch of any combustible materials.
• WARNING: A qualified electrician or persons with experience in household wiring should install this fixture. The electrical system
and the method of electricity connecting this fixture to it must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and
local building codes.
• WARNING: Mount fixture to a grounded junction box marked for use in wet locations.
• WARNING: Your light fixture is pre-wired for easy installation.
• WARNING: There are no user-replaceable bulbs.
• WARNING: Disassembling/opening your fixture will void the manufacturer’s 3-year warranty.
• WARNING: For supply connections, use wire rated at least 90°C.
• WARNING: In the event of breakage, your unit may no longer be waterproof and should be replaced. You may contact your supplier or
LUMATEQ directly for ordering assistance.
• WARNING: To avoid hazard to children, account for all parts and destroy packing materials.
LED Blaster Lights (LB90, LB120, LB170)
Addendum:
LUMATEQ equipment that is directly connected to AC mains (e.g. 120/220/277VAC) can be damaged by short circuit and overload
conditions. In addition, lightning surges or load switching transients (originating outside the bulb) can create voltage spikes or ring waves
that can stress and ultimately damage components and render the fixture inoperable. Given that the value proposition for LED bulbs is
not only lower energy usage, but longer lifetimes, it will be crucial that transient voltage protection is taken into account to eliminate field
failures driven by the electrical environment.
Ensure the following steps are taken to decrease the chance of damage from short circuits and overload conditions:
1. Do not use mechanical timers or contactors to switch on the lamp. These contacts are known
to produce voltage spikes which are detrimental to the circuitry of the lamp.
It is recommended to use a solid state relay to provide power to the fixture.
2. Replace old circuit breakers, as corroded contacts on both the bus bar and internal contacts
of the breaker can cause destructive electrical spikes.
3. Use a surge protection device (SPD) spanning both Line, Neutral and Ground.
These devices contain MOV’s (a metal oxide varistor) which can help protect the LED bulb from
overvoltage surges and ring-wave effects by clamping short-duration voltage impulses as shown in drawing.
