reached. Please use gloves if you touch the LED panel

at the heat sink.

Do not cover the aluminium heat sink of the LED panel

while using it.

Avoid exposing the LED panel to the radiation of other

luminaires. Do not place it on other heat sources.

Intense heating can cause automatic power off while

using the device.

Ensure that all devices and accessories are protected

from falls and drops. Please mind all local regulations.

Do not abuse the cables for transportation or as a

means of hanging or placing the luminaire or any of its

accessories.

Caution! High Voltage: Completely disconnect the
