Important Safety Information
The
X4 ATOM
fixture from GLP is fitted with a plano-convex lens. 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 lens 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
beam-lights
; extreme caution
and observance of these safety instructions is mandatory.
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 be found at www.glp.de.
