Operation
 Enclosure must receive power at all times. It is an active, climate-controlled enclosure, and will
not provide proper protection for the luminaire inside if it is not connected to AC power.
 Unless the enclosure or luminaire is undergoing routine maintenance, the globe should be in
place and locked down at all times.
 Only authorized personnel should open the enclosure (see maintenance warnings in the next
section).
 If the ambient temperature is high enough, the over-temperature shutdown feature may engage
and temporarily cut off power to the luminaire. Once the temperature reaches acceptable levels,
power will be automatically restored.
 Do not routinely operate luminaire in full sun in warm weather. Black luminaires absorb a
significant amount of energy from the sun and may overheat in these conditions. The enclosure
has not been designed to protect the luminaire when running in this kind of extreme condition
(outside lighting is generally used at night).
