Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the lamp is straightforward: remove the battery compartment cap, insert the 3 provided AAA batteries according to the polarity markings, and replace the cap. To maintain the device, ensure the lens remains free of debris by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. While the IP54 rating protects against dust and moisture, avoid submerging the light in liquid.
