1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your Eiko EYB 82V 360W T3-1/2 G5.3 Base Halogen Lamp. Please read these instructions carefully before installation and operation to ensure proper function and longevity of the product.
2. Safety Information
Halogen lamps operate at high temperatures and contain pressurized gas. Improper handling or use can result in personal injury or property damage. Adhere to the following safety guidelines:
- Always disconnect power to the fixture before installing, removing, or cleaning the lamp.
- Allow the lamp to cool completely before handling to prevent burns.
- Avoid touching the glass envelope of the lamp with bare hands. Oils from skin can create hot spots, leading to premature failure. Use a clean cloth or gloves during handling.
- Do not exceed the specified voltage and wattage for your fixture.
- Ensure the lamp is securely seated in its base before applying power.
- Dispose of used lamps according to local environmental regulations.
3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of the Eiko EYB halogen lamp:
- Power Disconnection: Ensure the power supply to the fixture is completely turned off and locked out if possible.
- Cooling: If replacing an existing lamp, allow it to cool down for at least 15 minutes to prevent burns.
- Old Lamp Removal (if applicable): Carefully grasp the old lamp and pull it straight out from the G5.3 base. Avoid twisting if the base is a push-in type.
- New Lamp Handling: Handle the new Eiko EYB lamp by its ceramic base. Do not touch the glass bulb with bare hands. If the glass is accidentally touched, clean it thoroughly with rubbing alcohol and a lint-free cloth before installation.
- Insertion: Align the two pins of the Eiko EYB lamp with the holes in the G5.3 base. Gently push the lamp straight into the base until it is fully seated. Do not force the lamp.
- Power Reconnection: Once the lamp is securely installed, restore power to the fixture.

- Power On/Off: Activate the fixture's power switch to turn the lamp on or off.

5. Maintenance

- Cleaning: If the lamp's glass envelope becomes dusty or dirty, disconnect power and allow it to cool. Gently wipe the glass with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, use a small amount of rubbing alcohol.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the lamp for any signs of damage or discoloration. If the lamp appears dim or flickers, it may be nearing the end of its lifespan.
