lamp in a horizontal to base down position. Do not install in any
classified location where the marked operating temperatures exceed
ignition temperatures of hazardous atmospheres. Do not install fixture
in location where ambient temperature exceeds maximum ambient
temperature indicated on fixture nameplate. Keep tightly closed when
in operation.
NOTE: All threaded joints are "O" ring sealed for wet locations suitability.
Exercise care:
