Optimizing the Lamp

When a lamp is replaced, you will need to optimize the new lamp's position in
the optical path. Optimizing the lamp ensures that you will have a flat field
across the entire beam diameter.
To optimize the lamp, you will need the following items:
• #2 phillips screw driver
• smooth white surface to project the beam on
• table or a truss to mount the fixture on
To optimize the lamp, complete the following procedure:
1. Mount the fixture in an orientation so that it may be squarely projected
onto a smooth white surface no less than 10 feet (3 meters) away.
2. Using a controller or the menu system, focus an open (white) beam
onto the surface and observe the beam.
3. Using a #2 phillips-head screw driver, rotate the three lamp adjust
screws until you achieve a uniform flat field. Refer to Figure A.3. When
the lamp is correctly optimized, the field will have an even
disbursement of light throughout the entire beam diameter.
