The Legend 300E Beam is equipped with a Philips MSR Gold 300/2 lamp. This lamp uses a
socket called FastFit, which allows for fast and easy lamp changes. Follow the procedure
below to safely change the Legend 300E Beam's lamp.
1) Turn the fixture off and disconnect it from the power outlet.
2) Wait at least 15 minutes for the lamp to cool down.
3) Loosen the two screws on the lamp cover (marked "A" in the diagram).
4) Lift and rotate the lamp cover as per the diagram to expose the base of the lamp.
5) Rotate the ceramic base of the lamp 90º counterclockwise.
6) Pull the lamp out by holding it from its base only.
7) Insert the new lamp and turn it 90º clockwise.
8) Reverse steps 3 and 4.
9) Use the adjustment screws (marked "B" in the diagram) to position the lamp in the
center of the reflector to obtain the best output.
•
ALWAYS turn the lamp off by using the DMX controller or the fixture's control panel.
Then wait at least five minutes before switching off the fixture. This will keep the
fans running to extract any remaining heat from the fixture's head.
•
DO NOT power cycle the fixture unless it is necessary.
•
DO NOT touch the lamp without wearing gloves to avoid leaving grease on the bulb
or on the contacts that could reduce the lamp's life.
•
ALWAYS change the lamp when it has reached its recommended lifespan to avoid
the risk of lamp explosion.
