Description:
The FireLight is a compact, lightweight low-voltage powered moving pattern projector. The unit is
designed to project a moving pattern of light with an irregular character strongly resembling the appearance
of flames or fire.
The patented refractive optical system is very efficient, using two pattern wheels rotated by gear reduction
motors to produce a bright and dynamic effect pattern using a 35 watt MR-11 incandescent light source. The
motor speed may be adjusted to obtain the desired projection appearance. The projection lens mount slides
to provide easy adjustment of effect focus, allowing further variations in the appearance of the projected
pattern.
An internal color filter slot allows for easy installation of gel or dichroic color filters or aperture
plates, which will allow the designer to create anything from highly realistic projections of flame images to
flames with unnatural speed, color, or other characteristics.
Recommended Use
The FireLight fixture is intended for use in applications where the appearance or illusion of fire or flames is
desired, without the hazard or heat of actual flames. The fixture is provided with a 12 volt AC ballast which
will operate from a 120 volt AC power source, or a 120 volt AC lighting dimmer circuit or channel.

Summary of Contents for Precision FireLight
- Page 1 Recommended Use The FireLight fixture is intended for use in applications where the appearance or illusion of fire or flames is desired, without the hazard or heat of actual flames. The fixture is provided with a 12 volt AC ballast which will operate from a 120 volt AC power source, or a 120 volt AC lighting dimmer circuit or channel.
- Page 2 Electrical Precautions The FireLight projector is equipped with a 6 inch cord ending in a two pin power connector. The ballast transformer usually supplied with the unit has a 7 foot output cord with a matching two pin connector. To connect the FireLight to the transformer, first make sure that the transformer unit is disconnected or turned off, then align the two connectors and slide them together.
- Page 3 Operation Once connected to the ballast transformer, the FireLight unit will operate as soon as AC power is applied to the ballast. The lamp and internal motors will begin to operate immediately, and the unit will project a moving pattern of light with an irregular character resembling the appearance of fire or flames.
- Page 4 Filter or Gel Installation A slot for a filter or color gel is provided at the front of the FireLight. A thumbscrew at the front of the unit retains the filter or gel. Deep color gels may fade or bleach with time, and may require periodic replacement to maintain the desired color.
- Page 5 Reinsert the thumbscrew and gently tighten it to retain the filter. If it is possible to invert the FireLight unit when installing a filter or gel, the filter can be simply dropped in or out of the slot after removing the thumbscrew.
- Page 6 To change the lamp in the FireLight, first remove power from the unit by unplugging the power cord from the unit, or at the AC power source. If the unit is mounted close to high wattage fixtures, or if the lamp has recently failed, the housing, lamp door, lamp, and other internal components will be hot.
- Page 7 CAUTION Use of the proper type of lamp is essential to the safe and proper operation of the FireLight. Do not install any replacement lamps greater than 35 watts at 12 volts, or any lamps rated for other than 12 volt use.
- Page 8 Troubleshooting Problem Probable Cause Fixture completely inoperative No line voltage power, or dimmer setting at minimum AC circuit fuse or circuit breaker blown Fixture power cord or ballast power cord unplugged Defective 12 volt ballast or DC power supply Motors operate normally, Defective lamp, lamp not properly installed, or but no lamp output wrong voltage lamp...
