Safety Information

• Always disconnect power to the fixture before installing or removing the bulb.
• Allow the existing bulb to cool completely before handling. Hot bulbs can cause severe burns.
• Handle the new bulb with care. Avoid touching the glass with bare hands, as oils can reduce bulb life. Use a clean cloth or gloves.
• Ensure the bulb is compatible with your fixture's voltage and wattage requirements (135 Volts, 1200 Watts).
• Dispose of old bulbs according to local regulations, especially if they contain mercury or other hazardous materials.

Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to safely install your replacement light bulb:

1. Power Disconnection: Locate the power source for the fixture and turn it off. If possible, unplug the fixture from the wall outlet or switch off the circuit breaker.
2. Cool Down: Allow the existing bulb to cool down for at least 15-30 minutes before attempting to remove it.
3. Remove Old Bulb: Carefully remove the old GW114 PHOTOPOLYMER bulb from its socket. Note its orientation and how it was secured.
4. Prepare New Bulb: Unpack the Technical Precision GW114 PHOTOPOLYMER replacement bulb. Handle it by its ceramic ends or with a clean cloth/gloves to avoid touching the glass.

Operating Instructions

After successful installation, the bulb is ready for operation.

• Turn on the power switch for the fixture. The bulb should illuminate.
• High-intensity discharge (HID) bulbs may require a short warm-up period to reach full brightness and stable color. This is normal operation.
• Avoid frequent on/off cycling, as this can reduce the bulb's lifespan.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your bulb.

• Cleaning: If the bulb's glass surface becomes dusty or dirty, ensure the fixture is off and the bulb is cool. Gently wipe the glass with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or liquids.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the bulb and fixture for any signs of damage or wear.
• Storage: If storing a spare bulb, keep it in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your bulb, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Bulb Does Not Light:
  • Check if the power supply to the fixture is active.
  • Ensure the bulb is correctly seated in the socket.
  • Verify that the fixture itself is functioning correctly (test with a known working bulb if possible).
  • Confirm the fixture's voltage and wattage match the bulb's specifications.
• Bulb Flickers or Cycles On/Off:
  • This can indicate an aging bulb nearing the end of its life.
  • Ensure stable power supply to the fixture.
  • Check for loose connections in the fixture.
• Reduced Brightness:
  • Dust or dirt on the bulb surface can reduce light output. Clean as per maintenance instructions.
  • Bulb may be nearing its end of life.
