Align Lamp

After a new lamp is installed, the lamp must be aligned to optimize the beam. Whenever a lens is
changed, lamp alignment can also be beneficial. Adjustment knobs are located on the backcap.
WARNING: Backcap and adjustment knobs are HOT during lamp operation. Wear gloves to prevent
burns.
WARNING: Light Beam Projects Intense Heat
Do not illuminate objects within 3.5 m (11.5 feet) of the VL3500™ Wash Luminaire. Objects within
this range can scorch, melt, or ignite from the heat projected by the light beam.

Step 3. Position beam on a white wall at a distance of 12 to 20 feet.
Step 4. At backcap, using X, Y, and Z adjustment screws, adjust beam as required. For true Z
adjustment, turn all three knobs equally.
