) or 

the Showtec Par 36 120V/650W (DWE) bulb (ordercode 

82163

), as manufactured by all popular 

manufacturers. Use only the appropriate lamp for your unit.

specification label for information.

The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat.

! Lamps with higher wattage generate temperatures the device 

was not designed for.

Procedure

Loosen the 2 screws on the front of the lamp housing.
