Introduction Congratulations on purchasing your Samson PowerStrip, PowerBrite, or PowerBrite Pro! This manual covers three products: the PowerStrip PS10; the PowerBrite PB10; and the PowerBrite PB10Pro.

Setting Up and Using Your PowerStrip or PowerBrite Setting up your PS10, PB10, or PB10Pro is a simple procedure which takes only a few minutes: 1. Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service) and install the unit in a standard 19” rack. We recommend that the PB10 and PB10Pro be placed in the top slot so that its slide-out LED lamps can be used to illuminate the entire rack of equipment below. 2. Connect the PS10, PB10, or PB10Pro to any standard grounded AC outlet.
Appendix A: LED Or Incandescent? There are numerous advantages to using the kind of LED (light emitting diode) lighting provided by the PowerBrite PB10 and PowerBrite PB10Pro over the incandescent lighting provided by competing rack light products. Here are the main points to consider when making your purchase: • LED lights generate almost no heat at all; incandescent bulbs can generate large amounts of heat.
