Safety First
Installation of the Lotus LED Lamp is a task that requires careful attention to safety:
- Professional Requirement: Only a certified electrician familiar with luminaire electrical systems should undertake the installation, service, or removal of the Lotus LED Lamp. To avoid serious injury, this process must comply with all relevant National (NEC), State, and Local Electrical Codes and Ordinances.
- Electrical Precautions: Disable all power sources to the Lotus LED Lamp before beginning work. Verify that the existing power distribution system is safe and functional. Incorrect handling of high-voltage equipment can lead to hazardous and potentially fatal scenarios.
- Voltage and Grounding Compliance: It’s imperative to ensure that the supply wiring voltage corresponds with the Lotus LED Lamp’s requirements. Where applicable, the lamp should be properly grounded in line with National and Local Electrical Codes.

When choosing the Lotus LED Lamp, consider the following specifications:
- PAR56 Models: Offered in 40W and 60W options, with dimensions of 7 inches in diameter and height, and weighing 2 lb. These models are equivalent to 300W and 500W PAR Halogen lights, respectively.
- PAR64 Model: This 100W option, measuring 8 inches in diameter and 7.6 inches in height and weighing 2.2 lb., is equivalent to a 1000W PAR Halogen light.
Lifespan and Power Connection Options
