Outdoor IP-rated fixtures
CLF
products are applied to official classified IP norm levels. For this product the IP rate is IP65 when using the covers for the chassis
parts. IP65 means according classified norm: shielded against dust and pressurized water from any side. Typical use for outdoor rated
stage events with normal weather acceptance. So no heavy rain, because then the water pressure over exceeds the IP norm.
Condensation/moisture inside housing
Because
of high humidity levels during production condensation can occur inside the housing. This is mostly visible on the coldest parts of
the fixture, like the front glass or display. To prevent this problem we work with special conditioned areas for outdoor fixtures. Because of
the breathing air valves it is still possible to get humidity inside the fixture. This will evaporate slowly. Do not put wet fixtures in a flightcase,
this will help humidity enter the fixture.
Fixtures temperature specification
Make sure the fixture is used within its working temperature range. Outside this range we cannot guarantee correct operation.
Temporary usage:
Stage event equipment is designed with temporary use in mind. Our product purpose is for theatre, festival, (disco) clubs and indoor &
outdoor concerts. Long term use is possible but keep in mind that it can bring damage to aging materials and affect the coated surface (
i.e. stainless steel). Rubber sealings will be negatively affected after long-term UV exposure and should be checked by qualified service
technicians over time.
Tighten screws too hard will also affect the IP-rating.
