Installation and maintenance
Bracket
The FLASH 1500D is equipped with a mounting bracket. This bracket is adjustable in angle for your
convenience. Always tighten the knobs on the sides enough, to prevent the bracket from moving during use.
It is possible to mount a hook to the fixture, to install it to a truss structure, lighting stand, ceiling or beam.
Attach a half coupler or G-clamp and always use a safety cable when mounting the fixture in a hanging
position.
Feet
The FLASH 1500D is equipped with small feet on the bottom, making it possible to place the fixture on a flat
surface, such as a table, stage etc. Never block the fan output, never place the fixture on a hot surface to
prevent damage and possible injury.
Cleaning
Make sure to clean the exterior of the unit frequently, as the build-up of dust and dirt may have negative
effects on the cooling and optics of the fixture.
The exterior of the unit can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The optics of the fixture can be cleaned with a
clean cloth or paper towel, with the addition of a non-aggressive glass cleaning solution.
Clean the fan outlet and the cooling vents with a small brush, while using vacuum cleaner suction to remove
any loose dust and/or dirt.
Clean the exterior of this fixture once a month. When using this fixture intensively, the frequency of
maintenance needs to be increased.
Transport
When using this fixture in mobile setups, provide sufficient protection during transport. Use the original
packaging of this unit, or use a professional flightcase with proper foam inlay. This way the electronics, optics
and housing are protected against severe shocks, exterior damage and failing electronics.
After use, let the unit cool down for at least 10 minutes. When using DMX, use the ‘black out’ option on your
DMX controller. This way the unit is positioned in a static stand-by mode and the internal fan is able to cool
down the internal electronics, which decreases the chance of damage during transport.
Replacing the bulb
There is already a sufficient bulb installed in this feature. The bulb should work when you try the fixture for
the first time. If this is not the case, contact your dealer for a replacement or return the product. It is normal
that the bulb needs to be replaced when used for a long time, as the lifespan will eventually come to an end.
Always use a lamp of the same type and rating to prevent overheating and possible damage to the fixture.
Never use a lamp stronger than 1500 Watt. Do not touch the bulb with bare hands as this might have
negative influence on the lifespan of the lamp.
To replace the lamp, follow the steps below:
- Remove the four screws, located on the left of the fixture, (seen from the front where the lens and bulb are
visible)
- Remove the side panel
- Gently slide the glass panel out of the fixture and place it on a soft surface (for example, a cloth or towel)
- Take out the lamp from its socket and replace it with a new one
- Mount the cover and screws in reverse order
