SETUP GUIDE
- Verify Compatibility: To prevent performance problems, make sure the bulb is compatible with your fixture and M58 ballast.
- Turn Off Power: To avoid electrical dangers, turn off the power supply before installation.
- Handle Carefully: To avoid oil residue impairing performance, avoid direct contact with the glass and instead use gloves or a clean cloth.
- Examine the Fixture: Before installing, make sure the socket and fixture are in good shape.
- Screw in Tightly: To prevent damage, slide the lamp into the E39 mogul base and twist gently but firmly.
- Correct Lamp Positioning: Make sure the lamp is installed in the orientation that is advised for your fixture.
- Confirm ANSI Code: To make sure it works with your current ballast, confirm the ANSI code (M58).
- Utilize a Clean Environment: To increase efficiency, install in a dry, dust-free area.
- Avoid Over-Tightening: Excessive force can cause the glass to break, therefore avoid overtightening the bulb.
- Verify Voltage Requirements: For best results, make sure the power source satisfies the 100–120V, 60Hz requirement.
- Allow Warm-up Time: After turning on, metal halide lights need a few minutes to attain their maximum brightness.
- Verify Proper Cooling: To avoid overheating, install in a fixture with adequate ventilation.
- Use a Dimmer That Is Compatible: Make sure the dimming system you’re using is compatible with HID lighting.
- Steer Clear of Frequent On/Off Switching: This can reduce the lamp’s lifespan.
- Test the Lamp: Turn it on after installation and look for flickering or uneven illumination.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
- Clean Occasionally: To get rid of dust and debris, wipe the lamp down with a dry, lint-free cloth.
- Examine for Discoloration: A bulb that has turned yellow or blackened is getting close to the end of its life.
- Prevent Moisture Exposure: To avoid short circuits or malfunctions, keep the light and fixture dry.
- Examine for Damage: Check the lightbulb frequently for cracks or other flaws, and replace it if needed.
- Check Light Output: If the brightness drastically drops, it could be time to get a new lightbulb.
- Prevent Power Surges: To prevent harm from voltage fluctuations, use surge protectors.
- Permit Appropriate Cooling: To avoid overheating, keep objects away from the fixture.
- Use a Stable Power Source: Make sure the light runs within the prescribed voltage range.
- Replace Before Burnout: To provide steady illumination, replace the lamp before it totally fails.
- Verify Proper Ballast Function: Flickering or early lamp failure can be caused by defective ballasts.
- Handle with Caution: Before touching or replacing a lamp, always switch off the power and allow it to cool.
- Steer Clear of Rapid Cycling: This can shorten the lamp’s lifespan.
- Store Correctly: To avoid damage, keep the lamp in a cool, dry location when not in use.
- Use in Suggested Fixtures: Make sure that the fixtures are made to accommodate metal halide lights.
