Keeping Your G-Max™ As Good As New

The fixture you’ve received is a rugged, tough piece of pro lighting equipment, and as long as you take 

care of it, it will take care of you.  That said, like anything, you’ll need to take care of it if you want it to 

operate as designed.  You should absolutely keep the fixture clean, especially if you are using it in an 

environment with a lot of dust, fog, haze, wild animals, wild teenagers or spilled drinks.  

Cleaning the optics routinely with a suitable glass cleaner will greatly improve the quality of light output.  

Keeping the fans free of dust and debris will keep the fixture running cool and prevent damage from 

overheating.  

In transit, keep the fixtures in cases.  You wouldn’t throw a prized guitar, drumset, or other piece of ex

-

pensive gear into a gear trailer without a case, and similarly, you shouldn’t even think about doing it with 

your shiny new light fixtures.  

Common sense and taking care of your fixtures will be the single biggest thing you can do to keep them 

running at peak performance and let you worry about designing a great light show, putting on a great 
concert, or maximizing your client’s satisfaction and “wow factor.”  That’s what it’s all about, after all!

Returns (Gasp!)

We’ve taken a lot of precautions to make sure you never even have to worry about sending a defective 

unit back, or sending a unit in for service.  But, like any complex piece of equipment designed and built 

by humans, once in a while, something doesn’t go as planned.  If you find yourself with a fixture that isn’t 

behaving like a good little fixture should, you’ll need to obtain a Return Authorization (RA).  

Don’t worry, this is easy. Just go to our website and open a support ticket at

www.blizzardlighting.com/tickets, and we’ll issue you an RA. Then, you’ll need to send the unit to us using 

a trackable, pre-paid freight method.  We suggest using USPS Priority or UPS.  Make sure you carefully 

pack the fixture for transit, and whenever possible, use the original box & packing for shipping.

When returning your fixture for service, be sure to include the following:

 

1.) Your contact information (Name, Address, Phone Number, Email address).

 

2.) The RA# issued to you

 

3.) A brief description of the problem/symptoms.

We will, at our discretion, repair or replace the fixture.  Please remember that any shipping damage which 

occurs in transit to us is the customer’s responsibility, so pack it well!

Shipping Issues

Damage incurred in shipping is the responsibility of the shipper, and must be re-

ported to the carrier immediately upon receipt of the items.  Claims must be made 

within seven (7) days of receipt.
