6. aintenance Now ignoring maintenance and cleaning is very good way of creating problems down the road and many companies and installations do just that However the net result is no matter what the fixture premature failure Changing the oil in a car most people do on a regular basis So with the fixtures regular maintenance is an excellent practice if you want the fixtures to last So what is the maintenance for the fixture Clean the fans That s really it Use a small vacuum cleaner and suck the dust and fur balls out Do not use a can of co That will just blast the dust and dirt everywhere The fans keep the led cool and also keep the electronics cool too Without the fan working efficiently and dust free the fixtures will fail and that will be a lot more costly than having someone vacuum the fixtures on a regular basis How often should the fans be cleaned It depends on where the fixtures are in a very dusty atmosphere once a week So check the fans on a regular basis it may not need cleaned every week but a quick visual inspection should be done The front lens should be cleaned so the light output is maintained Use only a moist lint free cloth Never use alcohol or solvents to clean the fixture 9 Technical Specification Operating voltage 100 250v where the Neutral is always a Neutral not a different phase Frequency 50 60 Hertz Fan cooled Length 18 25 widest point x Height 15 25
