Maintenance Tips
-
Use correct ballast only: Ensure compatibility with the required S62/S55 ballast (wrong ballast can cause flickering or failure).
-
Avoid frequent switching: HID bulbs last longer when left on for extended periods; repeated on/off shortens lifespan.
-
Handle with care: Do not touch glass with bare hands—use gloves to prevent heat stress and reduced life.
-
Keep fixture clean: Dust or dirt on reflector/lens reduces brightness and efficiency over time.
-
Ensure proper ventilation: Do not block airflow; overheating can damage the arc tube and shorten bulb life.
-
Replace at end-of-life signs: Watch for cycling (turning on/off repeatedly) or dimming—these indicate failure.
-
Use in rated fixtures only: Always install in compatible enclosed or open-rated industrial fixtures.
-
Power off before replacement: Allow full cooling before handling to avoid burns or breakage.
