DUAL FILAMENT BULB (LITEBOX ONLY)
The LiteBox dual filament lamp assembly features a safety backup beam in case one filament burns
out. The light is carefully engineered to produce the same quality beam patterns for either filament.
The push button will alternately choose between the two filaments automatically. If one filament
burns out, you will notice it will require three (3) activations of the switch to light the remaining back
up filament. This indicates the necessity to replace the bulb.
LAMP REPLACEMENT
: The inner halogen bulb operates at a high temperature and is pressurized. Allow to cool
CAUTION
before handling. We recommend wearing safety glasses when replacing the lamp.
The PAR-36 lamps used in the LiteBox/FireBox feature a lamp assembly having a replaceable bi-pin
halogen bulb.
To remove the lamp, stand the LiteBox/FireBox on its back end and pry the black rubber ring from the
lamp housing. Lift out the lamp and carefully disconnect the slip-on terminals.
To replace the lamp, reconnect the terminals (no need to observe polarity) and replace the lamp on the
housing. Try to dress the lamp wires neatly and make sure the recess on the reflector fits into its key
in the housing. Replace the rubber ring.
To replace the halogen bi-pin bulb, unscrew the bulb socket from the reflector and pull the old bulb
straight out from the socket. Align the pins of the new bulb with the holes in the socket and push until
the glass is seated against the socket.
NOTE
perspiration oil can "smoke" the inside of the lens and reflector, as well as deteriorate the bulb glass.
If disconnected, reconnect the socket wires; there is no polarity. At this point, if you have the clear
"spot" lens, turn on the lantern and adjust the focus by screwing the socket in or out of the reflector
while observing the "spot" against a wall about ten feet away. The adjustment range is from fully
seated to the point where the socket O-Ring starts to leave the surrounding screw shell. The "flood"
lens need not be focused. Replace the lamp assembly in the lamp housing. The flood assembly should
be rotated to obtain a desirable pattern angle. Replace the rubber ring.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Read Safety before replacing battery. The battery compartment is accessible at the bottom of the unit
by removing the six (6) base screws. Remove the base of the lantern and the gasket. Disconnect the
old battery, taking care not to stress the wiring harness or battery tabs. Slowly pull the battery out and
remove the foam pad. Inspect the wiring, making sure that the wires run in their proper channels and
are not pinched. This is to prevent shorting the battery, which may cause a fire. Insert the foam spacer
and place the new battery into the upper half of the lantern with the terminals toward the switch side
and the positive (red) terminal nearest to the circuit board. Connect the red wire to the positive (+) tab
of the battery and the black wire to the negative (-) tab. Reversing these connections will damage the
LiteBox/FireBox. Replace the gasket and cover using moderate torque on the six (6) base screws.
: The sealed lead acid battery in this product is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under
NOTE
various country and state laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery in the municipal solid waste
stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or
proper disposal.
POWER REQUIREMENT OF VEHICLE MOUNTED SYSTEMS
This section describes the load which a LiteBox/FireBox puts on a vehicle electrical system and
suggests ways to deal with the situation.
After a complete discharge, charging a single LiteBox/FireBox will consume 14 ampere-hours (Ah)
: Avoid touching the new bulb with your skin as
from a 12 volt DC source in the first 24 hours, and one Ah each 24 hours thereafter. If the vehicle
stands unused, without supplemental battery charging, the LiteBox/FireBox will remove the above
capacity directly from the vehicle battery if it is left connected at all times and would eventually drain
the battery fully.
The typical car battery is 50 to 70 Ah, while a truck battery may be over 100 Ah. In cold weather, even
a 15% loss of vehicle battery capacity could cause hard starting.
We recommend you take one of the following actions to keep your vehicle and LiteBox/FireBox working
well together:
1. Use the vehicle daily which keeps the vehicle battery charged and, in turn, the LiteBox/FireBox.
2. Wire the LiteBox/FireBox to the switched side of the ignition. The drawback to this is that while the
vehicle battery does not get drained during periods of inactivity, the LiteBox/FireBox might never
receive a full charge.
3. The best solution is to equip the vehicle with a supplemental trickle charger which is connected to
AC power when the vehicle is standing. The advantages to this setup are that your vehicle battery
will always be topped up, other power accessories can be added to the electrical system, and you
may obtain longer vehicle battery life. Such chargers are available from several manufacturers. Your
fire equipment distributor should be able to help.
