Balboa Water Group MoodEFX LED String Lights - Manual (Page 2)

Source Life
MoodEFX illumination products utilize
high brightness LEDs as the illumination
source. LED manufacturers predict LED
life of up to 100,000 hours MTBF (mean
time between failure), the standard used
by conventional lamp manufacturers to
measure source life. However, like all
basic light sources, LEDs also experience
lumen depreciation over time. So, while
LEDs can emit light for an extremely long
period of time, MTBF is not the only
consideration in determining useful life.
LED lumen depreciation is affected by
numerous environmental conditions such
as ambient temperature, humidity and
ventilation. Lumen depreciation is also
affected by means of control, thermal
management, current levels, and a host
of other electrical design considerations.
MoodEFX systems are expertly
engineered to optimize LED life when
used under normal operating conditions
[ambient temperature: -4°F to 104°F
(-20°C to 40°C), humidity: 0-95%
non-condensing humidity, adequate
ventilation and air volume] and when
operated using typical color-changing
effects. Long-term operation outside
of these ranges or conditions, or at
the upper limits of these ranges or
conditions, may subject the product
to further degradation of the LED
source life, or in extreme cases,
failure of internal components. Source
life information is based on LED
manufacturers‘ data, as well as other
third party testing.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning
Do not open, alter or tamper with the product.
This will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
Follow all instructions in the user guide, and
observe all warnings carefully. Do not attempt
to service the electronic components yourself.
Non-expert handling may damage the
product and cause injury to the user.
The Don’ts
• Do not allow the MoodEFX light to
get wet. Although the products are
conformal coated to protect them from
moisture, if the light gets wet, unplug
it and contact Balboa Instruments’
Technical Support Group immediately.
• Do not alter or tamper with the
MoodEFX light.
• Do not allow the unit to freeze.
• Do not use the MoodEFX light if it has
been damaged.
• Do not store units in dirty, dusty areas.
• Do not attempt to service the electronic
components yourself. Non-expert
handling may damage the product and
cause injury to the user.
The Do’s
• Follow all instructions in this guide and
observe all warnings carefully.
• Keep the unit dry. Precipitation and
liquids contain minerals that corrode
electronic circuits.
• Handle the MoodEFX light as you would
any delicate product.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION
Always disconnect power to the spa at the circuit breaker
before servicing the light. Failure to do so could result in
death or serious injury to the installer, spa users, or others
due to electrical shock.
