At a room temperature, the glass gets warped only elastically, it doesn't keep permanent deformations after the applied load has been taken away. On the contrary, when the effort goes beyond the limit of elasticity, the sudden breakage of the piece takes place. When a glass sheet breaks down, we have the formation of small pieces and the cutting of irregular area called at “shape of lance”, which are a serious danger for the users. Thanks to special treatments and workings, safer glass products have been produced. These workings are: tempering, layering and insertion of metallic wire nettings inside the glass.
Ballasts should be installed and operated in compliance with the National Electric Code (NEC), Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) requirements, and all applicable codes and regulations. As it is possible to come in contact with potentially hazardous voltages, only qualified personnel should perform ballast installation. All installation, inspection, and maintenance of lighting fixtures should be done with the power to the fixture turned off.
