How to use

Install the lamp only in fixtures that accept GY6.35 base lamps and operate at the specified low-voltage supply. Ensure the fixture is switched off and cooled before replacing the lamp. When handling the bulb, avoid touching the glass envelope with bare fingers; use a clean cloth or gloves to prevent oil residue that can shorten lamp life. Use a compatible transformer or electronic transformer rated for halogen lamps of this wattage, and select a dimmer that supports low-voltage halogen loads if dimming is required.

Recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, position the lamp in fixtures with appropriate heat dissipation and maintain recommended clearances from combustible materials. Use in well-ventilated fittings and match the transformer and dimmer ratings to the lamp's power. Avoid rough handling and direct contact with the glass surface to prevent hot spots and premature failure.
