GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Tomaintainoptimumperformanceandminimizewear,xturesshouldbecleanedfrequently.Usageandenvironment

Dust reduces performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical
wear. Be sure to power off fixture before conducting maintenance.
