Mounting 

 
The Firelight fixture incorporates a mounting yoke with a 1/2" hole at the center for hanging the instrument.  
The Firelight is normally attached to a mounting “C-clamp” or other stable means of support using the yoke 
mounting hole and an appropriate bolt and washer.  The unit can be mounted in any orientation, keeping in 
mind that intensity and speed adjustments along with power and DMX data connections must be made at the 
rear of the unit, and focus adjustments from either the top or bottom. 

 

Supplementary mounting accessories such as safety cables are recommended, and may be required when 
the fixture is mounted above occupied areas.  The user is responsible for mounting the instrument in a 
safe and secure manner.  Please consult with local public or workplace safety authorities to determine if 
any additional safety restraints, such as safety wires or cables may be required. 
 

Aiming 

 
The instrument can be pointed using the mounting hole on the yoke as a directional pivot.  Tightening the 
mounting fastener will lock the instrument in that axis.  The mounting yoke attaches to the sides of the 
instrument with two thumbscrews.  Loosening the thumbscrews allows adjustment of the instrument in 
elevation.  Tightening the thumbscrews locks the elevation axis.  The user is responsible for mounting the 
instrument in a safe and secure manner.  Please consult with local public or workplace safety authorities to 
determine if any additional safety restraints, such as safety wires or cables may be required.
