Section 1: Introduction
UNDERSTANDING LAMP POWER VALUES (%)
The Lamp Power range of 75-110 represents 75%-110% of the power appropriate for the installed lamp. In
other words, you can apply anywhere from 75% of the maximum power intended for the installed lamp up to
an over-drive that exceeds the maximum rating by approximately 10%. Both current (amps) and power (watts)
thresholds are read.
Keep in mind that higher lamp power settings do shorten lamp life-for best results, avoid over-driving a lamp
for extended periods. When using LiteLOC™ (which automatically increases lamp power over time), check
the Status menu lamp power readings periodically as the lamp ages, to prevent prolonged over-driving.

* CXL-20 requires adaptor kit (P/N 003-001728-XX). NOTE: A Lamp Power setting of 110 will exceed the
maximum values shown here by approx. 10%.
