•  Before rigging/mounting a single fixture or multiple fixtures to any metal truss/structure or placing 

the fixture(s) on any surface, a professional equipment installer MUST be consulted to determine

solids 2.5mm in size or larger (approximately the size of an adult finger tip). The unit is NOT
