Maintenance of the byko-spectra basic
NOTE: Disconnect the power cord before
cleaning or relamping the byko-spectra basic!
The viewing area of the byko-spectra basic should
be kept clean and free of samples, notices, etc. To
clean the neutral gray surface, use a soft, damp
cloth with a mild soap or detergent. For stubborn
marks or stains, use a non-abrasive "soft-scrub"
type of cleaner. DO NOT use organic solvents on
the surface.
In order to maintain proper color quality and light
intensity, the lamps should be replaced
after 2,500 hours use. It is important to use a
BYK-Gardner daylight source when relamping.
To order replacement lamps for your light booth,
refer to the product label on the rear of the unit
(located near power cord) for a relamp kit code.
Rotate the lamp 90 degrees to remove it from its
lampholders. The tubular incandescent lamp has a
screw-type base, which unscrews like a standard
incandescent bulb. After removing the lamps, wipe
the polished reflectors with a soft, damp cloth,
to remove any accumulated dust. Install the new
lamps into their appropriate sockets.

fluorescent lamps and does not indicate that the
lamps are defective. Normally, flickering gradually

off, rapidly, a few times or (2) by removing the
