• Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses. Replace defective fuses with ones of the
specified type and rating only.
• Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 m (4 in.) around fans and air vents.
• Ensure that there are no combustible materials within 0.5 m (20 in.) of the fixture when installed, and that
there are no flammable materials nearby.

• Do not look at LEDs from a distance of less than 8.7 meters (28 ft. 7 ins.) from the front surface of the
fixture without protective eyewear such as shade 4-5 welding goggles. At less than this distance, the LED
emission can cause eye injury or irritation. At distances of 8.7 meters (28 ft. 7 ins.) and above, light output
is harmless to the naked eye provided that the eye's natural aversion response is not overcome.
• Do not look at LEDs with magnifiers, telescopes, binoculars or similar optical instruments that may
concentrate the light output.
• Ensure that persons are not looking at the LEDs from within 8.7 meters (28 ft. 7 ins.) when the product
lights up suddenly. This can happen when power is applied, when the product receives a DMX signal,
when stand-alone operation starts or when certain items are selected in the onboard control menu.
• To minimize the risk of eye irritation or injury, disconnect the fixture from power at all times when the
fixture is not in use, and provide well-lit conditions to reduce the pupil diameter of anyone working on or
near the fixture.
• The surface temperature of the fixture can become hot, as much as 90° C (194° F). Avoid accidental
contact.
• Install as described in this manual a secondary attachment such as a safety cable that is approved by an
official body such as TÜV as a safety attachment for the weight of the fixture. The safety cable must
comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6 and be capable of safely catching the fixture if the main
attachment fails.
• Do not hang fixtures from each other. Use one clamp per fixture when suspending.
• When suspending the fixture, ensure that the structure and all hardware used can hold at least 10 times
the weight of all devices suspended from them.
• Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened.
• Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing, servicing or
moving the fixture.
