POTENTIAL INTERNAL FIXTURE DAMAGE FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES OF LIGHT BEAMS
External sources of light beams from direct sunlight, lighting moving head fixtures, and
lasers, which are focused directly towards the exterior housing and/or penetrate the front
lens opening of ELATION lighting fixtures, can cause severe internal damage including
burning to optics, dichroic color filters, glass and metal gobos, prisms, animation wheels,
frost filters, iris, shutters, motors, belts, wiring, discharge lamps, and LEDs.
This issue is not specific only to ELATION lighting fixtures, it is a common issue with lighting
fixtures from all manufacturers. Although there is no true way to fully prevent this issue from
happening, the guidelines below can prevent any potential damage from occurring if
followed. Contact ELATION Service for more details.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE FIXTURE AND/OR FRONT LENS OPENING TO
LIGHT BEAMS FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT, OTHER LIGHTING MOVING
HEAD FIXTURES, AND LASERS WHILE UNPACKING, INSTALLATION, USE,
AND EXTENDED IDLE TIMES OUTDOORS.
DO NOT FOCUS A LIGHT BEAM FROM ONE LIGHTING FIXTURE
DIRECTLY TOWARDS ANOTHER.
