SAFETY AND HANDLING

1. Lamps are very fragile, do not drop, crush, bend or shake them.
2. Do not touch the bulb surface with your bare hands.  Use gloves for installation.  (Applies only to halogen lamps)
3. Use alcohol solvent to clean the bulb. (Applies only to halogen lamps)
4. The lamp is extremely hot when being operated. Do not touch lamp either when it is on or soon after it has been turned off.
5. Keep the temperature of the seal below 350°C. (Applies only to halogen lamps)
6. Keep the temperature of the bulb above 250°C. (Applies only to halogen lamps)
7. Avoid shock and vibration when the lamp is on.
8. Use an external fuse when required.
9. Lamp should not be operated beyond 8% of the total rated voltage.
10. Avoid the use of dimmers that may drive your lamp over its rated voltage.
11. Don't allow one lamp to directly expose another.
