Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulations on purchasing a fantastic, versitle LED wash light!  

Now that you’ve got your COLORStorm (or hopefully, COLORStorms), 

you should carefully unpack the box and check the contents to ensure 

that all parts are present and in good condition. If anything looks as 

if it has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and 

keep the packing material for inspection.  Again, please save the car-

ton and all packing materials. If a fi xture must be returned to the fac-

tory, it is important that the fi xture be returned in the original factory 
box and packing.

Powering Up!

All fi xtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot 

be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even 

if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 

100% switch.  

AC Voltage Switch - Not all fi xtures have a voltage select switch, so 

please verify that the fi xture you receive is suitable for your local pow-

er supply.  See the label on the fi xture or refer to the fi xture’s specifi -

cations chart for more information.  A fi xture’s listed current rating is 

its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the fi xture or 

device carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection switch exists 

that it is set to the correct line voltage you will use.

Warning! 

Verify that the voltage select switch on 

your unit matches the line voltage applied. Damage to 

your fi xture may result if the line voltage applied does 

not match the voltage indicated on the voltage selector 

switch. All fi xtures must be connected to circuits with a 

suitable Ground (Earthing).
