FIRELIGHT USER INSTRUCTIONS 

 
Description: 

 
The FireLight is a compact, lightweight  low-voltage powered moving pattern projector.  The unit is 
designed to project a moving pattern of light with an irregular character strongly resembling the appearance 
of flames or fire.   
 
The patented refractive optical system is very efficient, using two pattern wheels rotated by gear reduction 
motors to produce a bright and dynamic effect pattern using a 35 watt MR-11 incandescent light source.  The 
motor speed may be adjusted to obtain the desired projection appearance.  The projection lens mount slides 
to provide easy adjustment of effect focus, allowing further variations in the appearance of the projected 
pattern.    An internal color filter slot allows for easy installation of gel or dichroic color filters or aperture 
plates, which will allow the designer to create anything from highly realistic projections of flame images to 
flames with unnatural speed, color, or other characteristics.   
 

 

 
Recommended Use 

 
The FireLight fixture is intended for use in applications where the appearance or illusion of fire or flames is 
desired, without the hazard or heat of actual flames.  The fixture is provided with a 12 volt AC ballast which 
will operate from a 120 volt AC power source, or a 120 volt AC lighting dimmer circuit or channel.
