Cleaning Optics, Filters and Gobos

WARNING: Remove power from luminaire before performing maintenance.

WARNING: Acetone is a harsh cleaning agent and solvent. Acetone is very flammable.
Please handle acetone according to manufacturer’s safety instructions and precautions.

The front lens, optics/color filters, and reflector may require cleaning after extended use.

FRONT LENS: Use a isopropyl alcohol with a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the front lens.
OPTICS/COLOR FILTERS/ GOBOS: Use Acetone or Isopropyl Alcohol along with a
soft, lint-free cloth to clean the optics/color filters.
REFLECTOR: Use Acetone or Isopropyl Alcohol along with a soft, lint-free cloth to
clean the reflector.

CAUTION: Do not continuously rub color filters or reflector - it may damage or remove the
optical coating.
