Safety Precautions
1. The LSC-008 fixture has been designed for professional use and must be operated by qualified personnel only.
2. The 18000W/12000W fixture can only be used with the Lightstar 18000w/12000W electronic ballast.

The max ambient temperature limit is ±45° C (113°F).
Please keep a minimum distance of 2 feet when close to inflammable objects.
Do not cover the ventilation holes on the fixture housing. They are necessary for proper ventilation.
Use only original parts and accessories from Lightstar.
Before hanging the fixture, make sure the suspension points are properly rated to handle the weight of the fixture.
It is ALWAYS advisable to add a safety cable or chain through the yoke to properly suspend the fixture in place.
WARNING: DO NOT USE THE LSC-008 IN A SPACE WITH FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES.
WARNING: UV RISK / HEALTH RISK. THE LAMPS USED WITH THE LSC-008 EMIT AN AMOUNT OF UV RADIATION WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS TO
HUMAN HEALTH IF NOT PROPERLY SHIELDED AGAINST.

Lamp Installation & Replacement
1. Ensure the fixture is disconnected from the main power supply.
WARNING!! LAMP WILL STILL BE HOT TO THE TOUCH EVEN AFTER THE ALLOTED LAMP REST PERIOD.
THERMAL GLOVES ARE RECOMMENDED FOR WORKING WITH THE FIXTURE AND THE BULB.
2. Check to see that the new lamp is the correct wattage.
3. Release the lamp clamp level inside the front of the fixture.
4. To replace the lamp pull up and out to remove the old lamp.
Re-Lamp Procedures: Do not touch the bulb with your bare-hands. This can cause oil to accumulate on the glass and
reduce the performance of lamp life. The plastic/foam cover which protects the lamp should NOT be removed until after
the lamp is fitted into the fixture. If bulb becomes dirty due to hand contact or from any contaminant, it can be cleaned
with a cloth moistened with alcohol.
