4. Operating Instructions

The Satco S9980 LED MR16 Bulb operates like a standard light bulb. Once installed in a compatible fixture and connected to a 120-volt power supply, it can be controlled via the fixture's switch.

The Satco S9980 LED MR16 Bulb requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal performance and longevity:

• Cleaning: Ensure the power is off and the bulb is cool before cleaning. Wipe the bulb with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as they may damage the bulb's finish or internal components.
