Arctic Kit Installation Procedure

  • Remove the 2 screws holding down the light engine
  • Unplug the LED inline connector and remove the light engine
  • Unplug the Arctic Kit inline connector, for arctic kit control circuit
  • Unplug the Arctic Kit Power connectors, at driver board, and on primary incoming power connection
  • Remove the Arctic Kit from the light engine disk by squeezing the snap in standoffs on the underside of the light engine disk
  • Fixtures that use 6 LEDs will need the LED mount to be removed.
  • Take a new Arctic Kit and orient it so the 3 standoffs are over the 3 holes in the light engine disk.
  • Pass the wires thru the opening in the light engine disk
  • Snap the Arctic Kit in place
  • Connect the power leads, the male lead connects to the incoming power lead, the female lead connects to the driver board
  • Connect the Arctic Kit inline connector, for Arctic Kit control
  • Screw in the 2 screws holding down the light engine
  • Note the 2 tabs on the outside of the base and the 2 recesses on the inside of the lens ring
  • Check the orientation of the lens. 
  • The lens ring has 2 recesses which will fall over the 2 tabs on the outside of the light base
  • When the lens with ring is in place, clip the 2 clasps down
  • The lens should feel warm after operating at 6.6 amps for 10-15 minutes in the cold
  • A very small red LED will light up when the heater is activated


Performance Impact

Fixture VA and total VA increase significantly with arctic kit 
Isolation Transformer upgrade to 30/45W for most colors.
Blue and red/green remain compatible with 10/15W transformer even with arctic kit.
