FIRELIGHT MODEL FL-L1 USER INSTRUCTIONS
Description:
The Firelight FL-L1 fixture is a compact, lightweight moving pattern projector which use advanced long
lifetime LED light sources. The unit is designed to project a moving pattern of light with an irregular
character strongly resembling the appearance of flames or fire. Two pattern wheels rotated by gear
reduction motors produce the moving effect pattern. The projection lens mount allows for adjustment of
effect focus. Electronic adjustments are provided for control of effect motor speed and direction, and the
intensity of the LED emitter installed. Installation of gel or dichroic color filters or aperture plates in the
filter slot provided will create further variations in the appearance of the output pattern, and a DMX control
option is available to provide remote control of the fixtures for professional lighting applications.
Recommended Use
The Firelight FL-L1 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 fixtures are intended to operate from a
120 volt AC power source using the power supply provided, an appropriate substitute, or can be operated
from any suitable DC power source with appropriate voltage, polarity, and a current rating of at least 2
amperes.

- Page 3 Mounting The Firelight FL-L1 fixtures include a mounting yoke with a 1/2" hole at the center for hanging the instrument. The Firelight is normally attached to a mounting “C-clamp” or other stable means of support using the yoke mounting hole and an appropriate bolt and washer. The unit can be mounted in any orientation, keeping in mind that intensity and speed adjustments or connections must be made at the rear of the unit, and focus adjustments from either the top or bottom.
- Page 4 Effect Adjustments All controls for effect intensity, color, speed, and direction are accessible at the rear of the unit. The LED intensity and effect motor speed controls are multi-turn potentiometers. Rotating the trimmer controls clockwise increases the intensity or speed setting, and counterclockwise adjustment will decrease the setting. The controls are very precise, and several turns may be required to produce a significant change.
- Page 5 Firelight FL-L1 fixtures use a single high power LED emitter, usually white in color, and intensity may be controlled using the two “Intensity” controls normally assigned to the “Green” and “Blue” emitters. Each of these two drive channels can operate the LED emitter at half of the maximum current, and both are required to reach maximum current and intensity.
- Page 6 Focus Adjustment The effect focus can be varied by moving the projection lens. This may be accomplished without opening the unit case. Two small thumb screws on the upper or lower surface of the unit secure the lens mount. Loosen both screws slightly, (but do not remove either screw) and use one of them as a handle to slide the lens mount forward or back until the desired focus is achieved, then tighten both thumb screws securely.
- Page 7 LED Emitter Lifetime The LED light source used in the Firelight FL-L1 fixtures should operate for tens of thousands of hours, or several years of daily operation without requiring replacement. A decrease of from 25 to 30 percent in intensity can be expected after approximately 100,000 hours of operation. If the unit is mounted close to high wattage fixtures, or otherwise operated in hot environments, the output of the LED emitters may decrease more rapidly, but should not require replacement over the lifetime of the fixture.
