Maintenance 

 

To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently.  Usage and 
environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should be cleaned at 
least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead 
to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off fixture before conducting 
maintenance. 

Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust collected on 
external vents and internal components.  Clean all glass when the fixture is cold with a mild solution of glass 
cleaner or Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue. Apply solution to the cloth or 
tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the lens. Gently polish optical surfaces until they are free of 
haze and lint. Do not to touch the lamp glass when cleaning fixture. Oil and dirt can cause damage and 
premature aging of the lamp. In the event that the lamp is touched or becomes dirty, clean the lamps with an 
alcohol wipe.  

Returns Procedure 

 

Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing, call tags will not be issued. Package 
must be clearly labeled with a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RA #). Products returned without 
an RA # will be refused. Call CHAUVET and request RA # prior to shipping the fixture. Be prepared to 
provide the model number, serial number and a brief description of the cause for the return. Be sure to 
properly pack fixture, any shipping damage resulting from inadequate packaging is the customer’s 
responsibility. CHAUVET reserves the right to use its own discretion to repair or replace product(s). As a 
suggestion, proper UPS packing or double-boxing is always a safe method to use. 

Claims 

 

Damage incurred in shipping is the responsibility of the shipper; therefore the damage must be reported to 
the carrier upon receipt of merchandise. It is the customer's responsibility to notify and submit claims with the 
shipper in the event that a fixture is damaged due to shipping.  

Any other claim for items such as missing component/part, damage not related to shipping, and concealed 
damage, must be made within seven (7) days of receiving merchandise.
