Tiffen Lowel Caselite ce - Manual (Page 3)

Light intensity is controlled through
the lamp switches. In each CE model
Caselite, the AC to the fixture is con-
trolled by a switch on the power cable,
and then the lamps are controlled in
pairs by switches on the back panel.
A To turn the fixture on, Click the
power switch on the AC cable.
B Operate the switches on the back
of the unit to turn the lamp pairs on.
By using these switches, you will be
able to control light intensity level.
(Caselite2 has one switch to control
its 2 lamps)
The Caselites come with a user-replace-
able mini fuse which is installed in
a small holder on the same plate as
the exterior AC power socket.
Access the fuse by removing the cap
with a small flathead screwdriver.
Swap fuse if necessary and
replace holder.
Caselite2 CE model
uses fuses rated at 2.5 Amps and
250 Volts.

250 Volts.

Lamp Changes
To change a lamp, remove the plastic
eggcrate (if attached) by releasing the
snap-locks on each end. Remove both
metal endplates by turning the twist-
locks (see illus.). Note that the light-
tube sockets are installed on alternating
ends of the fixture. To remove a tube,
gently grasp it by its glass end and
swing it slightly out from the fixture
while pulling it carefully from the sock-
et. Replace lamp in same way, opposite
order. (Be very careful as lamp-tubes
are fragile and can easily shatter. Read
lamp mfr's
Warnings).
