Over the years the engineers at Thin-Lite Corporation have striven for continual Improvement. They have continued to test and refine the latest technology to meet tomorrow’s lighting needs. Dave Szymanek, (May 1, 1943 - Dec. 31, 2010), President of Thin-Lite Corporation, at the time, proudly accepts the “E” Award for Excellence in Exports from President Ronald Reagan in the Rose Garden of the White House in 1984. Thin-Lite Corporation pioneered fluorescent lights for the RV market in 1969. Sure, there were other fluorescents on the market in 1969, but nobody could match the durability and brightness of Thin-Lite Products. Today we are the leaders in the development and manufacture of 12 volt DC lighting for industry, trucking and recreational vehicles. Our all-aluminum housings are corrosion and rust resistant. We are proud to say that no other line of fluorescents lighting match our record. We were the first in the industry to secure U.L. listing of 12 volt DC fluorescent for marine and R.V. Look for the familiar U.L and CE symbols on our packages. When you have over ten million Thin-Lites in use, you are sure to hear from your customers. In 1981, Thin-Lite Corporation introduced low Voltage Low Pressure Sodium lights for use in conjunction with photovoltaic, where grid power is unavailable. Typical applications include warehouse, security and street lighting in remote areas. In 1999 Thin-Lite Corporation introduced the 650 and 760 series Elegant light fixtures. In 2002, 620 series, 500 series and VFI 15, 199PL models we added in our production line. Thin-Lites are recognized and in demand worldwide. Whether in the Sahara, the middle of the jungle, or atop remote peaks in the Alps, Thin-Lites have been found dependable and efficient. In appreciation of this outstanding representation of American know-how, President Ronald Reagan awarded the Presidential “E” Award for Excellence in Exports to Thin-Lite Corporation in 1984. At Thin-Lite we will continue our efforts to produce the finest quality and most efficient lighting for a variety of lighting needs worldwide. This includes fixtures using standard fluorescent tubes as well as the full color spectrum fluorescent tubes now available everywhere. We can design and build to customer requirements. We look forward to serving you. Co.

We recommend you use 16- gauge wire for optimal installation of a single fixture. Please see note below under “How much voltage drop is in my circuit?” 2) What is the recommended Voltage at the battery? Test input voltage at mounting location of fixture. Thin-Lite 12VDC fixtures are designed for optimal performance with input power of 12VDC + 2 VDC/ -1.5 VDC. How much voltage drop is on my circuit? First, test the voltage on the circuit at the battery. Next, test the voltage at the farthest fixture on a series or loop run. Subtract the fixture voltage from the battery voltage. This is the amount of voltage you have lost through your wiring, or your voltage drop. The optimal voltage for lighting is between 13.2 volts and 10.8 volts. How do I fix a voltage drop problem? You can fix a voltage drop problem a few different ways: a) Increase the wire size. Larger wire has a lower resistance, and less voltage drop will occur. See table 1. CAUTION: DO NOT OVER-AMP WIRE; IT CAN CAUSE FIRE DANGER! b) If you are using a series run, you can reduce voltage drop by changing it to a loop or T run. Wire Gauge Max Amps Max Watts Resistance Per foot 12 16 192 .00162 10 24 288 .00108 8 32 384 .00064 Table 1 3) How do I mount the fixture? a) Carefully remove lens and when necessary remove lamps and reflector to locate mounting holes in fixture chassis. b) Attach black wire from fixture to + (positive) power input lead with wire nut or similar connector (not supplied). c) Attach white wire from fixture to - (negative) power input lead. d) Mount fixture on flat surface. Use with at least two threaded fasteners (not supplied). e) Re-install reflector and lamp(s) and test unit for proper operation. f) Carefully re-install lens. 22 Info1 Rev 3 Aug. 2012 530 Constitution Ave. Camarillo, CA 93012 805-987-5021 Fax: 805-388-0921 E-mail: thinlitesales@thinlite.com www.thinlite.com TROUBLESHOOTING ALL FLUORESCENT FIXTURES Caution and Safety: Troubleshooting techniques require measurements with input voltage applied requiring extra precautions to avoid electrical shock, please use caution and safety. Use proper safety equipment such as eye protection and gloves when performing electrical measurements. Most problems with lights occur when power is interrupted to the light fixture or when the light bulb or its socket is defective. If you are not comfortable working with electrical wiring, voltage testers, and the like, try a few simple procedures detailed below, but, if those do not solve the problem, call an electrician. ELECTRICAL TEST EQUIPMENT The following equipment is recommended for testing fluorescent fixtures: True RMS Voltmeter (voltage ranges 0 to 1000 Volts AC and frequency range of at least 500 KHz for electronic measurements. Ammeter (clamp-on type acceptable) for magnetic ballast current measurements and electronic ballast input current measurements. Ranges: 0 to 10 amperes AC with at least one range 0 to 250 milli-Ampere (mA). Magnetic ballast input and output voltage and current frequencies are 60 Hz. Input voltages and current frequencies for electronic ballasts are 60 Hz, but the output frequency of most electronic ballasts is above 40 KHz. INOPERATIVE FIXTURE- Why doesn't my light fixture work? Often a fixture becomes inoperative due to causes not attributable to the ballast. It is therefore important to examine all fixture components before removing the ballast for replacement. We recommend you read the following: Question 1- “I have completed the installation but my lights do not turn on” Check battery voltage. Check switch on fixture or on Wall. Check all connections for a bad contact. Make sure all wiring & connections are secure. Check the line (battery) side of the wiring. Make sure that power is being supplied to the fixture. Replace or check all lamps to ensure satisfactory operation. As lamps are removed, examine all sockets to ensure they are not damaged or broken and are making proper and positive contact with the lamps. Make sure all lamp sockets are seated properly into sockets. Examine all electrical connection within the fixture, including at the lamp sockets, to ensure conformance with the wiring diagram on the ballast. If it still will not light, check the voltage at the light. Recommended operating voltage is between 11 and 14 VDC. Info2 Rev 3 Aug. 2012 23 Voltage drop due to loose connections at 12V fused distribution panels is not uncommon in mobile applications. Adjust torque where needed. Improperly tightened fasteners may reduce voltage delivered to 12V lights and accessories. If one or more light fixtures are controlled by a wall switch verify that it is a DC rated switch. The "DC Rule of Thumb" is “ a switch that is rated at 15A 125VAC will likely perform satisfactorily at 15 amps 12VDC.” Contacts on a non-DC rated switch may become corroded. This increases resistance and reduces voltage levels. Check voltage at all wall switches and replace if defective or voltage reading is below 12VDC. Check all connecting points on the 12VDC wiring harness for corrosion. Clean as needed. If there is no voltage at the light, check the wire to make sure they are connected. Black wire is positive (+) and white wire is negative (-). Fixtures are protected against reversed polarity. If improperly connected, the fixture will simply not turn "on". If the wires are connected properly, and there is still no voltage to the light, check voltage at battery and fuse box. Question 2 - “Some of my lights turn on, but not all of them”. Follow instructions for Question 1 first. Check for any bad contact between the fixtures. Make sure the bulb is plugged securely in the socket of the problem light fixture(s). Make sure that the fixture is installed correctly. Check the line (battery) side of the wiring. Make sure that power is being supplied to the fixture. Question 3- “When I turn on the lights, they flicker”. Follow instructions for Question 1 first. Check for bad contact between the problem fixture(s). Make sure all bulbs are securely plugged into the bulb sockets. The flickering should only be momentary, as it is a built-in protection mechanism against power surges. If lamps still flicker, remove lamps from sockets and re-install them in the opposite direction. Question 4- “My lights are on, but they are dim”. Follow instructions for Question 1 first. Make sure all bulbs are fully and securely plugged into the bulb sockets. Make sure you are not using a dimmer or your fixtures are not connected to a system that features “cinema” (automatic dimming feature at shut-off) lighting , Thin-Lite do not recommend dimmers or the such, this will revoke the warranty. Question 5- “My lights work for a while, but then they shut off”. Follow instructions for Question 1 first. Check for bad contact between the fixture(s) and track. Make sure all bulbs are securely plugged into the bulb sockets. Replacement Fluorescent Lamps for Thin-Lites These are standard Lamps, and may be available at your local hardware or can be ordered through local distributor. 24 Info3 Rev 3 Aug. 2012 FLUORESCENT LAMP TYPES Fluorescent lamps sold in the United States today are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes ranging from miniature versions, rated at 4 watts, 6" in length and 5/8" diameter, to 215-watt types, 96" long and 2" in diameter. Commercially available fluorescent lamp types include T12, T8, and T4 compact and T5-linear and compact. Base types include bi-pin, single pin, several compact bases and recessed double contact. LAMP LIGHT OUTPUT Lumens are the measurement for lamp light output. Fluorescent lamps are measured in initial lumens or in design lumens. Initial lumens are a measure of the amount of light that the lamp produces after about 100 hours of operation. Design lumens are a measure of the amount of light that the lamp produces after it has operated for approximately 40 percent of its rated life. Because light output from a fluorescent lamp diminishes over the life of the lamp - a process known as Lamp Lumen Depreciation - a lamp's design lumens (or mean lumens) are always lower than its initial lumens. Lumen maintenance refers to the rate at which light output declines over time and lumen maintenance percentages are typically based on light output at 40% of a lamp's rated life. LAMP LIFE Lamp Life is a measure of how long a fluorescent lamp operates and determined by that point in time when 50% of the lamps have failed. Lamp life is a function of emitter depletion - when you run out of emitter emission material the lamp will no longer operate. Some lamps will last longer than the rated life and some fail sooner. Starting methods, switch cycles, the type of ballast used and other factors can significantly affect lamp life. In general, life ratings for fluorescent lamps range from 6,000 to 30,000 hours based on the industry standard of three burning hours per start. LUMENS PER WATT Lumens per Watt are a rating of a lamp's light output in relation to the current passing through it or the watts it uses. The more efficient a lamp, the more lumens it will produce per watt of power consumed. This measurement (LPW) is also referred to as lamp "efficacy". What does CW mean? Alphabetic suffix that follows lamp part number, e.g., F15T8/CW, designates color temperature of lamp. The correlated temperature of a light source is expressed in Kelvins (K) and is a means of describing the appearance or chromaticity of the source itself. It describes the apparent whiteness of the lamp. Incandescent lamps deliver a limited color temperature range between 2700K and 3000K the same color range as a warm white fluorescent lamp. Fluorescent lamps offer a wide choice of color temperatures from cool white (CW) 4100K that produces a bluish white light reminiscent of moonlight on cold snow; Warm White (WW) 2700K to 3400K light with a yellowish tint, reminiscent of fireplaces and candlelight to Daylight (D) 6000-6500K that is typical of midmorning daylight entering through a window on a sunny day. What is the difference between Fluorescent, incandescent and LED lamps? Incandescent Lamps: Regular incandescent lamps produce light by passing an electric current through a filament in a vacuum or gas filled bulb. They provide low initial cost, good color rendition and excellent optical control. Halogen Lamps: Halogen lamps also use a filament; but since it is sealed in a pressurized capsule containing halogen gas, the lamp provides brighter, whiter light and improved energy efficiency. LED Lamps; Light from LEDs is concentrated in a beam. Refractive lenses are used to diffuse and spread the beam but this dramatically reduces light output. They are a good choice if mounted close to the work surface. LED’s are not recommended for lighting large areas where a wide dispersal of light is needed. Fluorescent fixtures are the most efficient source of light for illuminating a large area. Info4 Rev 3 Aug. 2012 25 Linear Fluorescent Lamps: Are 4-5 times more efficient than Halogen or Incandescent lamps. In a fluorescent lamp, an electric arc passing between cathodes in a tube excites mercury vapor and other gases and produces UV radiant energy. A phosphor coating on the tube then converts this energy to visible light. Fluorescent lamps are very energy efficient and provide a wide range of color responses. Compact Fluorescent Lamps: Compact fluorescent lamps employ small diameter tubes that are bent so they begin and end in a ceramic base. This allows them to be produced in a wide variety of configurations, greatly extending the applications for fluorescent lighting.

What is the warranty policy? The warranty extends to the original purchaser for two years but commercial applications have one-year warranty. It is limited to rectifying any such defect and/or replacing such defective part, except lamps, provided the fixture is returned prepaid, with proof of purchase to: Thin-Lite Corp, Attn: QA, 530 Constitution Ave, Camarillo, Ca. 93012. If the fixture has been superseded (new design replaces older design) replacement will be made with a current model of the same quality performing the equivalent function. This warranty does not cover labor costs for installation or removal of light fixture and is void on any light fixture that has been improperly installed, overloaded, abused or altered in any way. Other than the above described obligation, Thin-Lite Corp. assumes no further liability with respect to the sale or use of its products. Limited Lifetime Warranty To Original Purchaser After two years from the date of purchase (except commercial applications-one year), if the inverter ballast fails, Thin-Lite Corp. will repair or replace most fixtures with a current production model at a flat rate.
