Tips to Avoid Damage to Your Q-Beam Light

Never attempt to wipe or clean the inner reflective surface of the reflector. Touching or wiping the surface will damage it permanently.
The lens is made of optical-quality, tempered glass. As with all glass, avoid dropping or sharp impact on light.
Do not allow the hot lens to come in contact with water or materials subject to heat damage.
This light is not waterproof. Do not use the light underwater or store it outdoors.
Only use a Brinkmann 12-volt, halogen bulb that is designed for your Q- Beam light. Use of any other bulb may result in poor performance and may damage your light.
After months of use, DC receptacles can build up corrosion that may prevent your Q-Beam light from making good contact. It may be necessary to clean the inside of your DC receptacle with a fine emery cloth. Before cleaning the receptacle, remove the fuse to prevent it from shorting out.
