FIGURE 14
Lamps are extremely hot! Allow to cool completely before attempting to
remove. Gloves and eye protection should be worn when handling halogen
lamps as they are pressurized and accidental breakage can result in flying
glass.
WARNING!
MR8 Takedown Light Assembly
!
Refer to Figure 14 for lamp replacement. Remove the lamp assembly from the product by disconnecting the
two electrical wires and removing the appropriate fastener. Remove the fastener clamping the lamp and then
remove the lamp from the mounting bracket. Disconnect the lamp from the ceramic connector and reinstall a
new lamp. The lamp lens should be cleaned to remove fingerprints then reinstall the lamp assembly in the
light bar and reconnect the electrical wires. Reassemble the components in reverse order.
This Product contains high intensity LED devices. To prevent eye damage,
DO NOT stare into light beam at close range.
WARNING!
!
Minimum fuse size calculation:
For LED 12 volt electrical current only
1.5 x (number of modules being fused)
Example: 2 intersection modules and 6 directional modules.
Minimum fuse requirement for single fuse - 1.5 (8) = 12 A
For MR8 takedown and fan 12 volt electrical current only
Total wattage (1 MR8's = 35W, fan = 5W) divided 12volts = Amperage
Example: 2 MR8's and 1 fan = (75W/12) = 6.25 A
Total 12 volt electrical current
12A (for LED's) + 6.25A (for MR8's and fan) = 18.25 A

LED Fusing Considerations
Although the average current draw per module is very low, due to the type of circuit used to power each
module, the instantaneous peak current to a module can be significantly higher during low voltage
conditions. To avoid prematurely blowing ATO style fuses or tripping breakers it is recommended the
following rule-of-thumb be used to size fuses or breakers. This is especially important in light bars with
many LED modules running off a single fused source,
