18. Cleaning and maintenance.
Now ignoring maintenance and cleaning is very good way of creating problems "down the road" and
many companies and installations do just that. However the net result is, no matter what the fixture,
premature failure!
Changing the oil in a car most people do on a regular basis.
So with the fixtures regular maintenance it an excellent practice, if you want the fixtures to last.
So what is the maintenance for the fixture?
Clean the fan! That’s really it!
Turn off the Elektralite 1018(5-in-1).
Using a small vacuum cleaner, suck the dust and “fur balls” out.
Do not use a can of co². That will just blast the dust and dirt everywhere!
The fan keeps the LEDs cool and keep the electronics cool too.
Without the fan working efficiently and dust free, the fixtures will fail and that will be a lot more costly
than having someone vacuum the fixtures on a regular basis.
How often should the fan be cleaned? It depends on where the fixtures are; in a very dusty atmosphere
once a week. So check the fan on a regular basis, it may not need cleaned every week but a quick
“visual inspection” should be done.
The clear front plastic cover for the lenses should be cleaned so the light output is maintained. With the
Elektralite 1018 (5-in-1)
turned off, use only a moist lint-free cloth, and clean the plastic cover. Never
use alcohol or solvents to clean the fixture. Never spray anything onto the fixture at the front or in any
place on the fixture.
