Maintenance and Care 

Please do not forget that the safe operation of lamp heads also includes their maintenance and care. A 
visual inspection should be conducted before every use, and an inspection of electrical safety should be 
conducted at least once every 12 months. The results of these repeated inspections should be documented 
and filed. You will find additional information for the setup and operation of your lamp head, as well as 
information on the special features of the individual lamp head models, in the relevant operating instructions. 
Our recommendations for maintenance of this lamphead can be found on the following pages. 

 

Visual Inspection  

We recommend a regular visual inspection. This helps to detect potential damages in an early state. This is 
the only way to prevent and avoid consequential damage to other components. If your lamp head shows any 
visual damage, please contact your local ARRI service partner.  

 

Cleaning

  

The lamp head should be cleaned regularly. This is not just for your own safety; it also increases the lifespan 
of the device significantly. The following components should be cleaned regularly: 

 

1.   Cleaning the UV protection glass: 

Use conventional glass cleaner and a soft cloth for cleaning the protection glass. 
 

2. 

Cleaning the reflector 

 

Follow the steps for 

“Lens holder” + “Reflector”  

Use conventional glass cleaner and a soft cloth for cleaning the reflector. 

 

3.   Cleaning the inner housing 

 

Follow the steps “Lens holder” and “Housing” in this manual. 

 

Clean the inner housing carefully with a vacuum cleaner and get rid of dust and  

 

insects. 

Testing of Mechanical Components 

The following mechanical components should be checked regularly for functionality: 

 

1. 

Safety switch 

 

When setting or checking the safety switch you must ensure that you hear the clicking noise 2 times 
before the lens door is closed completely. If you are not sure if your lamp head is set correctly please 
contact immediately your local ARRI service partner for more information on how to proceed.  

 

2. 

Lamp socket 

 

Burn marks or discoloration may be an indication for contact problems. We strongly recommend a 
replacement to avoid damage on the lamp head. Please contact your local ARRI service partner for 
more information about how to adjust the lamp socket correctly.
