Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes. Always de-energize and allow the fixture to fully cool before relamping, as HPS lamps operate at high temperatures and pressure. Use appropriate PPE when handling clear HPS lamps. Verify ballast type matches ANSI S55 requirements before installation to avoid lamp failure or premature end of life.
