5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Field-Adjustable Wattage

The B17 bollard light allows you to select the desired wattage output to optimize brightness and energy consumption. A switch located inside the fixture head enables selection between 24W, 19W, and 14W.

• 24W: Maximum brightness.
• 19W: Medium brightness, reduced energy use.
• 14W: Lower brightness, maximum energy savings.

To adjust: Disconnect power. Open the fixture head. Locate the wattage selection switch and move it to the desired setting. Close the fixture head and restore power.

5.2. Selectable Color Temperature (CCT)

The fixture offers three color temperature options to suit different aesthetic preferences and applications. A separate switch inside the fixture head allows selection between 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K.

• 3000K: Warm White, ideal for creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
• 4000K: Neutral White, suitable for general illumination and task lighting.
• 5000K: Cool White, provides bright, crisp light, often used for security or modern aesthetics.

To adjust: Disconnect power. Open the fixture head. Locate the CCT selection switch and move it to the desired setting. Close the fixture head and restore power.

5.3. 0-10V Dimming

The B17 bollard light is compatible with 0-10V dimming systems. Connect the purple and gray dimming wires to a compatible 0-10V dimmer control. This allows for smooth adjustment of light output from 100% down to 10% (or lower, depending on dimmer specifications).

Ensure the dimmer is rated for LED loads and is compatible with 0-10V dimming protocols.

6. Maintenance

The B17 LED Bollard Light is designed for minimal maintenance due to its long LED lifespan of 50,000 hours.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the fixture with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure power is off before cleaning.
• Inspection: Annually inspect the fixture for any signs of damage, loose connections, or wear. Ensure all seals remain intact to maintain weather resistance.
• LED Replacement: LEDs are integrated and not user-replaceable. The long lifespan minimizes the need for replacement.
