KIM LIGHTING LIMITED WARRANTY
When installed in accordance with Kim Installation Instructions
and accepted trade practices, the following shall apply:
General Product Limited Warranty Coverage
All material and component parts used in the manufacture of
Kim Products, are warranted to be free from defects of
material and/or workmanship for a period of 1 year from date
of sale, with the following exceptions:
Auxiliary Equipment
All auxiliary equipment (such as lamps, ballast, and
transformers) provided by and/or included in Kim Products
shall carry the component manufacturer's warranty.
Copper, Bronze and Brass Landscape Components
Copper and Bronze Landscape fixture components shall be
warranted against defects of material and/or workmanship,
and failure due to corrosion, for a period of 25 years from date
of sale. Kim Lighting's brass components are constructed
from several brass parts that are manufactured by various
methods at various times. Since brass naturally deepens in
color as it ages through the normal oxidation process, these
parts may exhibit subtle differences in coloration when the
product is new. This is normal and expected. These color
differences will be eliminated shortly after installation through
the normal brass oxidation process.
Composite In-Grade Components
Composite In-Grade fixture components installed below
grade, shall be warranted against defects of material and/or
workmanship, and failure due to corrosion, for a period of 7
years from date of sale.
Aluminum Landscape Components
Aluminum Landscape fixture components not in direct contact
with soil, shall be warranted against defects of material and/or
workmanship for a period of 3 years from date of sale.
Aluminum fixture components in direct contact with soil shall
be warranted from defects of material and failure from
corrosion for a period of 1 year from date of sale.
Stainless Steel Components
Stainless steel landscape components (Lens Rings) installed in
the outdoor environment shall show signs of oxidation after 5 to
6 years of install and is dependent on the application and its
environment. A proper maintenance and cleaning program will
extend the beauty of the stainless steel.
Limit of Liability and General Conditions
Only products which are installed, used and maintained in
accordance with applicable Kim instructions, specifications
and accepted trade practices, are covered by the Kim
Warranty. During the warranty period, with proof of purchase,
Kim will repair or replace with the same or similar product, at
Kim's option, without charge. Labor costs are the owner's
responsibility and are excluded from this warranty. This
warranty is void if the product is modified, tampered with,
misapplied, poorly installed, improperly maintained, or
subjected to abnormal conditions.
Repair or replacement as provided under this warranty is the
exclusive remedy of the purchaser. This warranty is in lieu of
all other warranties, expressed or implied, including any
implied warranty of fitness for a particular application. Kim
Lighting shall not be liable to the purchaser for indirect or
consequential damages.

MAINTENANCE OF VISIBLE CONDENSATION ON
LENSES:
▼
Never install or maintain fixtures in the rain, or on
days with very high relative humidity (over 80%).
▼
After insuring that all water and visible moisture has
been dried out of the fixture, and before sealing the
fixture:
1. Install the lens ring and hand tighten all fasteners.
2. Start the fixture and allow it to reach operating
temperature (30 minutes or longer).
3. With the fixture still operating, loosen all lens ring
fasteners and lift the lens ring slightly (no more
than
A
"), leaving it propped open and "breathing" for
roughly 10 minutes with the lamp operating. This will
exhale the moist air trapped inside the fixture
housing.
4. With the fixture still operating (illuminated) and hot,
place the lens in its closed position and completely
tighten all fasteners. This process will evaporate a
great deal of the atmospheric moisture from the
interior of the fixture, and will reduce visible conden-
sation to a minumum. In order to maintain this, this
procedure must be repeated any time the luminaire
is opened for maintenance.
It is highly recommend-
ed that an installer wear gloves to protect from burns
caused by hot lens surfaces.
▼
Should water be found inside of the fixture that has
entered through the conduit system, it is essential
that the conduit system be cleaned, dried-out and re-
sealed before the fixture is re-sealed.
▼
Every effort must be made to insure the fixture
interiors remain completely dry during installation.
The debris shields provided with the fixtures are not
water tight. If flooding is anticipated during the
installation phase, extra effort must be made to
isolate the fixtures from water intrusion, or they must
be sealed off with plastic sheet and tape to prevent
water entry.
▼
Should the appearance of condensation increase in
density or size of droplets, it is likely that water is
entering the fixture. Inspect all gaskets, conduit
entries, and interior covers. Once the leak has been
detected and repaired, repeat the sealing process
described (#3 page 3).
