Getting to know your LIGHTSTAR Light
The Lightstar LSW-010 (150 Watt) LSW-001 (300 Watt) LSW-002 (650 Watt) fixtures are intended for professional applications, and are only to be operated
by qualified persons. Please read the following operating instructions very carefully before using these fixtures. They contain important information on the
operation of Lightstar lighting.
For your own safety, please follow all safety instructions and warnings. Please follow the operating instructions of the lamp manufacturers. Please keep
these operating instructions for you and subsequent users to reference in the future.
CAUTION: These fixtures use high voltage, before replacing the lamp; disconnect the fixture from its power supply. Warning! Lamp
may be hot! Allow the lamp to cool down sufficiently before replacing it. Do not switch on the Fixture without a lamp inserted. Do not
switch on the fixture without a Fresnel lens, safety mesh and reflector in place. Warning! The housing of the fixture can achieve very
high temperatures. Do not cover any ventilation slots. Always keep the mains cables away from the hot housing. A risk of overheating
or fire can occur if misused. Do not overtax the fixture cables for transport or suspension of fixture. Always remove the lamp from the
fixture for transport. Do not operate the fixture if it shows any visible damage.
Mounting the Fixture
Loosen the thumb screw on the yoke. Bring the fixture to the desired position. Tighten thumb screws until it locks in place. Check to ensure the fixture is
securely fastened.
If the fixture is being used in a hanging position, be sure to secure the fixture with a safety cable from the mounting pipe or truss. Accessories, not secured
with a safety rope must be secured with a safety cable as well. The carrying capacity of the safety rope must be rated at a minimum of 10 times the
weight of the fixture system including accessories. Stands must be set up in a stable position and capable of carrying the weight of the fixture including
accessories and cables.
Getting the Fixture Operational
Inserting the Lamp
Before replacing the lamp, the fixture must be disconnected from the power supply. Before inserting, visually check the lamp for functionality. Damaged
lamps must not be operated. Ensure the lamp is firmly fastened in its socket and the lamp must match the fixtures voltage. Connect the lamp head
connector to the power source, and put the cable switch to the ON position.
For the LSW-010 (150 Watt) fixture, loosen the small black screw at the rear of the fixture and pull out the carriage which accommodates the lamp holder
and reflector. Pull out the lamp carefully into the lamp holder. Push the lamp carriage back and fasten the small black head screw.
For the LSW-001 (300 Watt) and LSW-002 (650 Watt) press gently against the top cover to open the cover lock and lift the cover. Turn the focus knob
to move the lamp carefully with a cloth or glove. WARNING! The contact pins of the lamps have different diameters and have to be matched to the right
contact point of the lamp holder. Insert the lamp carefully as far as possible into the lamp holder. Close the top cover and gently press it down until you
hear it lock in the cover lock.
