Dura Spot 150™ Discharge Lamp Warning
This fixture is fitted with a discharge lamp which
is highly susceptible to damage if improperly
handled. Never touch the lamp with your bare fin-
gers as the oil from your hands will shorten lamp
life. Also, never move the fixture until the lamps
have had ample time to cool. Remember, lamps
are not covered under warranty conditions.
This unit emits intense UV radiation which is harmful to the eyes and
skin. The intense luminance of the lamp can cause severe damage
to the retina. Never operate this unit without it’s covers, these covers
have been specially designed to shield against UV radiation.
Epileptic Warning:
Those suffering from epilepsy should avoid looking
directly into the lamp at all times.
Avoid switching the fixture on and off repeatedly in short intervals as
this will reduce lamp life and intensity.
To achieve the intensity associated with discharge lamps, these lamps
use gas sealed in a high pressure environment to emit a brilliant output.
Due to the high pressure involved with the construction of the lamp,
the lamp may explode during prolonged extensive use. This risk is
increased with age, added care is encouraged when dealing with older
lamps. Extreme caution should be used when operating this or any
fixture fitted with a gas discharge lamp. Never open this unit while in
use.
Caution!
There are no user serviceable parts inside this unit. Do not

warranty. In the unlikely event your unit may require service please

Trouble Shooting
Trouble Shooting:
Listed below are a few common problems that
you may encounter, with solutions.
No light output from the unit;
1. Be sure you have connected your unit into a standard 120v wall
outlet.
2. Be sure the external fuse has not blown. The fuse is located on
the bottom panel of the unit.
3. Remove the lamp holder and be sure the lamp is seated in its
socket properly. Occasionally lamps become loose during ship-
ping be sure the lamp is push in to its socket all the way.
4. Be sure the fuse holder is completely and properly seated.
Unit does not respond to sound;
1. Low frequencies (bass) should cause the unit to react to sound.
Tapping on the microphone, quiet or high pitched sounds may
not activate the unit.
Fixture Cleaning:
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the
internal and external optical lenses and mirror should be carried out
periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on
the environment in which the fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue,
dust, dew). In heavy club use we recommend cleaning on a monthly
basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out-
side casing.
2. Use a brush to wipe down the cooling vents and fan grill.
3. Clean the external optics and mirror with glass cleaner and a soft
cloth every 20 days.
4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every
30-60 days.
5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit
back in.
