Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury
In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium batteries can cause severe injuries. When handled correctly and appropriately lithium batteries pose no risk. Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original packaging. Store lithium batteries away from heat sources (e.g. radiators or sunlight). Lithium batteries are hermetically sealed. Never attempt to open a lithium battery. If the battery housing is damaged small amounts of the electrolyte may leak out. If this should happen, seal the lithium battery in airtight packaging and wipe up the traces of electrolyte using absorbent paper towels. You must wear protective rubber gloves when doing so. Clean your hands and the affected surface thoroughly with cold water. Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable lithium batteries. When charging lithium batteries you must use a suitable charging device intended for the purpose. Only use powder extinguishers or other suitable extinguishing agents to extinguish a burning lithium battery.
Eye damage caused by high light intensity
Never look directly into the light source.
Extend the operating life of the device by regular breaks and by avoiding frequent switching on and off. The device is not suitable for continuous operation.
For technological reasons, the light output of LEDs decreases over their
lifetime.
This effect increases with a higher operating temperature. You can extend the
service life of the illuminants by providing adequate ventilation and
operating the LEDs with the lowest possible brightness.
Where to use the product
Never use the product
- in conditions of extreme temperature or humidity
- in extremely dusty or dirty areas
