Lamp Replacement 

 
The installation of correct replacement lamps is essential to maintaining the correct appearance of the effect, 
and to continued safe operation of the fixture.  Replacement lamps with incorrect properties, such as wide 
angle or flood output patterns, will result in a dim and badly focused image.  Replacement lamps with 
incorrect wattage or voltage ratings may cause damage to the fixture.       
 
To change the lamp in the FireLight, first remove power from the unit by unplugging the power cord from 
the unit, or at the AC power source.  If the unit is mounted close to high wattage fixtures, or if the lamp has 
recently failed, the housing, lamp door, lamp, and other internal components will be hot.  Allow the unit to 
cool for a while before attempting to change the lamp. 
 

WARNING 

 

The direct lamp output is very intense, and when powered, the lamp will become hot very rapidly and 
may cause burns if touched.   Flammable material in contact with or in close proximity to the lamp 
may be ignited by lamp output, causing risk of fire which can  potentially result in serious injury or 
death.  For your safety, never attempt to change the lamp unless you are certain that power is not 
applied, and do not attempt to operate the unit with the lamp door, or the unit cover open. 

 
The lamp is accessible through a hinged door located at the rear of the fixture.  It is usually not necessary to 
disturb the fixture alignment to change the lamp.  Unlatch the door by pulling outward on the two snap latch 
knobs at the top of the door.  The latches operate in a pull/push manner, not by rotating the latch pins.  After 
both latches are in the out and unlatched position, use the latch knobs to gently pull the hinged panel open.  
The access panel will swing open more than 180 degrees, and should not be forced further. 
 
The lamp and lamp socket are attached to the lamp door and will be exposed as the door opens.  Be sure the 
lamp is cool before touching or attempting to remove it.  Support the lamp door and remove the lamp by 
grasping the reflector and gently rocking and pulling it straight out of the lamp socket.
