LAMP (RE)PLACEMENT
In case of replacement of the lamp or maintenance, do not open the fixture within 10
minutes until the unit cools down after switching off. Always unplug the unit before
servicing! Always use the same type of spare parts (bulbs, fuses, etc.) When
replacing parts, please use only genuine spare parts.
Switch off the unit and unplug the mains cable.
Wait for about 10 minutes until the unit has been cooled down.
Use a screwdriver to unscrew the 3 screws (marked “A”) that close the
lamp compartment of the fixture.
Tear the lamp socket gently out of the lamp compartment.
Unplug the old lamp. Hold the lamp socket while unplugging the lamp
instead of pulling the cable!
Hold the lamp socket while pressing the new lamp gently in the socket.
Attention!
Check the label on the backside of the device or see the
technical specifications in this manual to know which lamp should be
used. Never install lamps with a higher wattage! Lamps with higher
wattage generate temperatures the device was not designed for. If the device uses a lamp transformer, it
will burn due to current overload.
Don’t touch the bulb with bare hands! This drastically shortens the lifespan of the lamp. If you touched the
lamp, clean it with a cloth and a little denatured alcohol. Wipe the lamp off before installing.
Put the new lamp back inside the unit. Be sure that the wires don’t touch the lamp.
Close the lamp compartment with the screws.
For maximum light output it’s important that the lamp is well centered inside the reflector. To do this ,
switch the device on and adjust the lamp until the light output is maximal. Check the drawing to see which
are the 3 adjusting points (marked “B”) to do this.
Done!

extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials
should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
OVERHEAD RIGGING:
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging
and servicing.
Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The
fixture must be fixed
at least 100cm
from surrounding walls.
The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be
seated.
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device’s
weight.
Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when installing the unit.
This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop
more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by
an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled
person to be sure that safety is still optimal.
INSTALLING ON LIGHTING STAND:
Make sure the area is free from unwanted persons at all times.
Locate the device in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The
fixture must be fixed
at least 100cm
from surrounding walls.
Make sure to install the device on a very stable light stand using the mounting bracket. The hole in the
mounting bracket has a diameter of 13mm.
Adjust the desired inclination-angle of the device and fasten both knobs very tightly.
The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by

person to be sure that safety is still optimal.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Regular breaks during operation are essential to maximize the life of this device as it is not designed for
continual use.
Do not switch the unit on and off in short time intervals as this reduces the lamp life.
The units’ surface temperature may reach up to 160°C. Don’t touch the housing with bare-hands during its
operation.
Always unplug the unit when it is not used for a longer time or before replacing the bulb or start servicing.
In the event of serious operating problems, stop using the fixture and contact your dealer immediately.
Important:
Never look directly into the light source!
MAINTENANCE
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.
Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and wait until the unit has been cooled down.
During inspection the following points should be checked:
All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be
corroded.
Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any
deformation.
When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced.
The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a
small problem is detected.
In order to protect the device from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be
cleaned monthly.
The interior of the device should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.
