TROUBLE SHOOTING

Fixture does not illuminate
Verify power connections. Review installation guide for installation problem. Ensure manual reset breaker has not been tripped.

Fixture turns off
Verify power connections. Review installation guide for installation problems. Ensure manual reset breaker has not been tripped. Check voltage drop at fixture.

Fixture(s) are dim or flicker
If you have dim or flickering lights at the end of your wire run, reduce the load by removing fixtures or shortening the wire run.

Fixture trips breaker
Check installation for a possible short or overload state. Isolate the identified short and replace affected fixture or remove fixture(s) installed in overload.

2. Fixture has a 90% confidence luminous flux range to stated 3000K CCT target. Photometric (flux and color) data has been measured in accordance to IES LM- 79.

3. Actual efficacy value can be calculated as follows: Lumen value divided by average power consumption.

4. Do not extend beyond the recommended maximum run length.

5. Recommend product be installed with 10 or 12 gauge wire.

6. Recommend 80% load/20% overhead rule for fixture load planning in reference to the power source.
   Calculating fixture loading this way provides additional resource for fixture adjustment and loss due to voltage drop due to wire run lengths.

7. We reserve the right to modify and improve the design of our fixtures without prior notice. We cannot guarantee to match existing installed fixtures for subsequent orders or replacements in regards to product appearance, CCT, or lumen output.

8. Damage caused by misuse (including use for an unintended application) or improper or incorrect installation, maintenance or repair, including failure to follow the applicable care and cleaning instructions, is not covered by our warranty.
