Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage and
environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should be cleaned
at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can
lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off fixture before conducting
maintenance.
Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust collected on
external vents and internal components. Clean all glass when the fixture is cold with a mild solution of glass
cleaner or Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue. Apply solution to the cloth or
tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the lens. Gently polish optical surfaces until they are free of
haze and lint. Do not to touch the lamp glass when cleaning fixture. Oil and dirt can cause damage and
premature aging of the lamp. In the event that the lamp is touched or becomes dirty, clean the lamps with an
alcohol wipe.
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp,
smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics. Clean with
soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. - Always dry the parts carefully. - Clean the external optics at
least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.
