Introduction
This is the operations manual for the Cool Lights USA CL-MF0070 CDM (Ceramic Discharge
Metalhalide) 70 watt Fresnel Spotlight. Your CDM 70 puts out an equivalent hard light to a
tungsten 300w fresnel (without the same wattage draw or heat) and includes all the features
you would expect to find in any fresnel including a focus control and fresnel lens. You should
have received the CL-MF0070 fresnel, a barndoor unit, mounting yoke with yoke to baby stand
adapter, 10 ft. fresnel to ballast connection cable (permanently attached to fresnel on one
end), a 70w CDM ballast, 15 foot American power cord with IEC adapter and a CDM bulb in
5400K (currently there is not a 3000K color temperature option of bulb as on the CDM 150
frensel). While the CDM 70 ballast includes an American power cord, it functions on any
voltage between 100VAC and 240VAC 50/60hz. All items have been protected by the
Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) Foam pictured in Figure 1, which shows the contents of the box
you received. Should any parts be missing contact us at
and mention
your order number and which part or parts are missing.

Assembly Process
Remove the fresnel from the box
.
Take the fresnel from the box and remove the
plastic sac which surrounds it for protection. Also remove the CDM 70 ballast. The fresnel-to-
ballast connection cable (also known in the industry as
“
ballast-to-lamp head cable
”
) is
permanently attached to the fresnel and has a 3 pin, keyed bayonet style connector on one
end. This connector will mate with the female side on the CDM 70 ballast and lock in place
with 1/3 turn. You should find the bulbs you were to receive in the same box packed in the
EPE foam inserts. Remove those also
—
they come in a small cardboard box.
