properly or do not take the system
technical specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the risk of
fire.

gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.

holding the metallic part only. Touching
the transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb
dry.
