Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this unit involves electrical heating elements, it must be installed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local building codes. It is compatible with infrared heat lamps up to 250W. To maintain the copper finish, wipe down with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Ensure the unit is completely powered off and cooled down before attempting to change a bulb or perform any maintenance. Never use this unit for general lighting; the infrared output is significantly more intense and not suitable for eyes or standard illumination purposes.
