Pica Cube™ UV

12

Ideally suited for theme parks, night clubs,

casinos, museums and stage applications, Pica

Cube™ UV is the smallest, most affordable high

powered UV light available to lighting professionals. 

Drawing just 22-24 watts, it outperforms 

conventional  long throw fixtures using two times 

the power,  weighing 10 times more, and which need 

an expensive lamp change every 1000 hours! The 

fixture allows for full speed DMX dimming and 

standalone control.

DO NOT

 look directly into the ultra-violet LED (hereinafter referred to as “UV-LED”) during 

operation of the device. THE UV-LED radiates intense ultra-violet light (hereinafter referred to 

as “UV light”) and can be harmful to the eyes even during a brief period of exposure. *UV-LED 

means any UV-LED dice or packaged UV-LEDs which emit ultra-violet light whose peak 

wavelength is shorter than 400nm.

2. 

ALWAYS

 wear UV protective eyewear when handling the UV-LEDs.

3. UV light can cause skin damage, up to and including, skin cancer. ALWAYS  wear protective 

clothing to prevent UV-LED exposure to skin.

4. 

ALWAYS

 instruct and warn all intended users of proper handling of the UV-LEDs and all 

potential hazards. 

ALWAYS

 provide proper instructions,  labels and warnings with your product 

in accordance, at minimum, with the standards set forth by the International Electric 

Committee (IEC). 

ALL

 UV light should be used in your product in such a way as to 

ensure that no direct exposure to the UV light on the human.
