LAMP INSTALLATION
Open both lamp holders by sliding them outwards and away from the center of the fixture.
The bulb must be oriented so that the high voltage wire end/lead (the end near the getter, which is the small
square tab attached to the wire loop) is installed in the socket end closest to the ballast.
Also be sure that the bulb is oriented so that the burner filament (the long wire that runs along the full length of
the arc tube) is positioned upward, facing the top inside surface of the reflector. Ensure that the wire ends/leads
are not bent or frayed, as this will prevent proper installation.
Begin by installing the double-ended lamp within the lamp holders as shown in PHOTOS A, B, & C. Be sure that
the wire ends/leads are fully seated in their slots in the lamp holders.

Once lamp is positioned correctly, slide both lamp holders inward toward the center of the bulb to secure and
lock the lamp in place as shown in PHOTO D. When the lamp is installed correctly it should appear as shown in
PHOTO E.

PLEASE NOTE: Do not force the lamp holders closed. This could cause damage to both the lamp and lamp
holders. Do not handle lamp with bare hands. Always wear surgical or cloth gloves whenever possible
when handling lamp to minimize fingerprints and oils left on the lamp. If the lamp needs cleaning after
installation, use a soft dry cotton cloth to wipe off fingerprints or oils.
HANGING YOUR FIXTURE
1. Make sure your unit is unplugged.
2. Hang the fixture from a strong cord or chain from both ends. Make sure you have hooks solidly screwed into
the studs in the ceiling. If you cannot locate the studs, insert expansion anchors into the ceiling. The hooks
should be rated to hold at least 50 lbs each.
TIPS
• The lamp may require 10-30 minutes cooling time before restarting.
• After you plug the reflector in, the bulb may require several minutes to reach its full brightness. In the event of
a momentary power interruption, the bulb will not restart immediately.
• Some variation in the color of light emitted by the bulb is not unusual, especially in the first 100 hours of
operation.
• Never pull the cord to unplug the reflector, pull the plug only.
• Avoid scratching the bulb, subjecting it to undue pressure, or getting it wet when it is hot; these actions may
cause the bulb to break.
• In the event of bulb breakage, immediately unplug the reflector to prevent exposure to ultraviolet energy,
which may be harmful to eyes and skin.
• Keep room temperature below 95°F, with adequate air circulation by fan in the growing area.
