4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your MEIKEE Wall Washer Light, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the light's surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
- Inspection: Periodically check the power cable and connections for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Ensure all screws and mounting brackets are secure, especially after installation or if the light has been moved.
- Waterproof Integrity: Although rated IP66 waterproof, avoid submerging the light in water. Ensure the power connection point is protected from direct water exposure if not specifically designed for it.
- Environmental Considerations: While designed for outdoor use, extreme weather conditions (e.g., prolonged heavy rain, snow, or direct sunlight in very hot climates) may affect performance over time. Consider providing additional shelter if possible in such conditions.
- Storage: If storing the light for an extended period, disconnect it from power, clean it thoroughly, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your MEIKEE Wall Washer Light, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
