Fixture Operation
Warning! To Ensure Proper Operation
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE FIXTURE BEFORE connecting or disconnecting lamps.
After the lamps are properly installed, the switch can turn on the fixture. Avoid
operating in temperatures above 125°F (51°C) or below 60°F (15°C).
Cold Temperature Operation
In cold temperatures below 60°F or 15°C, the fixture may not strike. If lamps
do not strike within 5 seconds, switch the fixture to OFF and try again. Check
that the lamps are properly seated and the dimmer is up full, then restrike.
If temperatures are too low, try to warm up the fixture to at least 60°F (15°C).
Lamps will turn on at preset dimmer settings as long as the temperature is above
60°F or 15°C.
