Failure to sufficiently protect any Vari-Lite luminaire during shipping or transportation will result in damage
and void the luminaire’s warranty. Vari-Lite will not be responsible for any shipping damage or breakage of any
product under any circumstances. Vari-Lite will not be responsible for any third party case manufacturer’s cases.
Note: As with all automated luminaires, proper handling and suitable protective shipping cases should be
used when transporting fixtures to reduce the risk of damage. For more information, please refer to Vari-Lite
technical notice (TN-235) “Transportation and Shipping Case Requirements” in the “Support” area of the Philips
Entertainment Lighting web site.
TRANSPORTATION AND SHIPPING CASE REQUIREMENTS
Cases to transport Vari-Lite luminaires should meet the following loading requirements:
• Luminaire head, yoke, and enclosure sub-assemblies shall be equally supported and constrained where
no one sub-assembly (head, yoke, or enclosure) fully supports the entire mass of the luminaire.
• The interior of the case shall be of high quality and uniform density foam. The foam shall be of the same
type and density throughout as to equally and uniformly support loading at every contact surface.
• The case shall, when laid on any of its six (6) surfaces, maintain the loading requirements outlined
above.
• All cases not meeting the aforementioned loading requirements, with wheels, shall have markings
on the exterior of the case that the unit is to be transported on it wheels only (e.g. “Case must be
transported and remain [at all times] on its wheels”).
