is compatible with the unit. Multi tap units may be used 
with a choice of 120V, 208V, 240V and 277V, provided 
that proper ballast leads are connected in the eld.

CAUTION: Be sure xture temperature is cool enough to 
touch. Do not clean or maintain while xture is energized.
1.  Clean glass lens with non-abrasive glass cleaning solution.

eciency.
