to 90° C (194° F): the fixture should not be located where it can accidentally
be touched.
When choosing a location for the fixture, consider that it has an ingress
protection rating of 65. This means that the fixture is totally dust proof and
that it is protected from water ingression to the extent that moisture from
low-pressure water jets from any direction cannot get into the product.
However, the product is not designed to withstand:
• High-pressure water jets from any direction
• Immersion in water (or any other fluid)
The Exterior 600 requires free-circulating air for cooling. Do not bury the
Exterior 600, install it in a well or sunk into a recess, or otherwise locate it in
an unventilated space.
To achieve the full tilt range, the fixture must be installed on a pedestal at
least 12 cm (4.7 in) long. To achieve the full pan range, the fixture must be
anchored with 4 fasteners that can be loosened, spaced at 90° intervals as
described in “Fastener spacing and type” below.
Sun alignment and 12° beam angle models
Exterior 600 models with a 12° beam angle are fitted with a PC (plano-
convex) lens. If the sun is aligned in front of this lens at any time during its
daily and seasonal movement and the sunlight is powerful enough, the
sun’s rays can be focused into the fixture, causing internal damage. The
conditions that can cause this damage are rare, but fixture/sun alignment
must be taken into account during installation of 12° models.
There are various solutions to this limitation. One solution is to fit the
Exterior 600 snoot accessory, if possible in combination with the barn doors
accessory, to shield the lens as much as possible from the sun’s rays. If the
fixture is easily accessible, another solution is to shade the lens during the
day. Note that the center of the lens must never be covered while the lamp
is lit as this will lead to overheating and damage that is not covered by the
product warranty.
Fastener spacing and type
Warning! Verify that the supporting structure can bear the weight of all
installed devices. Use at least one fastener in each of the 4
curved mounting slots.
The fixture is designed to be anchored with four 10 mm (3/8 in.) bolts.
Additional bolts may be used but the pan range will be reduced. Evenly
space the bolts at 90° intervals, centered on a 170 mm (6 and 11/16 in.)
