Lamp 

You will need to install the lamps prior to the initial operation of the fixture. Eight JCDR 50W 120V 

MR-16 halogen lamps are included.  

Warning! 

When replacing the lamp, please wait 15 minutes after powering down to allow the 
unit to cool down! Always disconnect from main power prior to lamp replacement. 

Do not touch the envelope (glass area) of the bulb with bare hands. If this happens, clean the lamp 

with alcohol and wipe it with a lint free cloth before installation.

1) 

Remove the 2 screws on the lamp/gel-
holder face plate. 

2) 

If replacing the lamp, remove old lamp 
first. 

3) 

Slide the lamp out of the retaining clips. 

4) 

Detach the lamp from the lamp socket 
and replace with new lamp. 

5) 

Replace lamp lamp/gel-holder face plate, 
align the screw holes and fasten the 
screws. 

6) 

No lamp alignment is necessary for this 
fixture since the lamp is already optimized 
inside the reflector. 

 

Color Gels 

The Color Bank includes color gels. Install them to create 

color wash changes during the chase sequence.  

1) 

Choose any one of the 4 colors and slide the color 
gel into the open slot on the top side of the lamp/gel 
holder. 

2) 

When installing the Color Bank in a horizontal 
orientation, make sure that the slotted end of the 
lamp/gel holder is pointing upwards. This prevents 
the gel from falling out over time.  

3) 

When installing the Color Bank in a vertical 
orientation and in a tight space, ensure the slotted side is not obstructed and that you maintain 
the ability to insert a color gel.  

Power 

Your product is equipped with switch-selectable AC power 

setting.  

Warning! 

Verify that the power select switch on your unit matches the 
line voltage applied. All fixtures must be connected to 
circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.
