S fixtures from GLP is fitted with a number of plano-
convex lenses in a highly efficient collimator cluster. This type of lens can act as
a strong magnifying glass.
If the rays from a strong light source (such as the sun or another lighting fixture)
are directed towards the front of any of these fixtures, then internal damage
may occur. In a worst case scenario with a high power light source this can
happen very quickly, damaging the fixture internally, potentially melting
components or causing an internal fire within seconds.
In order to avoid these possible problems please adhere to the following
requirements:
•
Do not expose the front of a fixture to direct sunlight or any other strong
light sources.
•
For outdoor applications during daylight make sure that the front face of
any fixture is either shielded or points away from the sun, even when
fixtures are not in use.
•
Do not modify the front glass or lenses of any fixture.
These requirements have to be followed regardless of whether a fixture is
powered on or off as the magnifying effect is an optical effect and therefore
independent from the (electrical) state of the fixture.
Especially when working with high powered

Should you have any questions about the operation of your fixture then please
contact your local GLP office, or their authorized distributor, a list of which can
