Maintenance
These LED lights require minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure longevity:
- Cleaning: Disconnect power before cleaning. Wipe the light bars with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or lens.
- Inspection: Periodically check all connections and mounting points to ensure they are secure.
- Bulb Replacement: The LED modules are built-in and not user-replaceable. The expected lifespan of the LEDs is long, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Troubleshooting
