Precautions
If an AVE lighting fixture is used outdoors on a sunny day, ensure that it is in a shaded area and is well ventilated to help prevent overheating.
Do not use AVE lighting fixtures in environments that are below 0°C OR exceed +40°C.
Suspension
Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by qualified individuals with thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations for suspending objects. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure all fixtures and effects are installed correctly. AVE strongly recommends inspecting installed systems every 6 months for signs of weakness or damage. If any damage or weakness is detected then remedial action should be taken immediately. The user is responsible for making sure the wall, ceiling, or structure is capable of supporting all objects suspended overhead. Any hardware used to suspend the fixture not associated with AVE is the responsibility of others.
