General Maintenance
Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to
reduction of the light source’s life and mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and
minimize wear, you should clean your lighting fixtures at least twice a month. However, be
aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the
cleaning frequency.
To clean a lighting fixture, follow the instructions below:
 Unplug the fixture from power.
 Wait until the fixture is cold.
 Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the
external vents and reachable internal components.
 Clean all external optics and glass surfaces with a mild solution of glass cleaner or isopropyl
alcohol, and a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
 Apply the solution directly to the cloth or tissue and drag any dirt or grime to the outside of
the lens.
 Gently polish the external glass surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
 When cleaning units with a movable mirror, you should keep the contact with the mirror
surface to a minimum to avoid scratching or damaging it.
Always dry the external optics and glass surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
If the fixture has one or more cooling fans, refrain from spinning them using compressed
air.
