GLP Impression X4 BAR 20 Instruction Manual page 5

The IMPRESSION X4 Bar 20 fixture from GLP is fitted with a number of plano-convex
lenses in a highly efficient collimator cluster. This type of lens can act as a strong
magnifying glass.
If the rays from a strong light source (such as the sun or another lighting fixture) are
directed towards the front of any of these fixtures, then internal damage may occur.
In a worst case scenario with a high power light source this can happen very quickly,
damaging the fixture internally, potentially melting components or causing an internal
fire within seconds.
In order to avoid these possible problems please adhere to the following
requirements:
 Do not expose the front of a fixture to direct sunlight or any other strong light
sources.
 For outdoor applications during daylight make sure that the front face of any
fixture is either shielded or points away from the sun, even when fixtures are
not in use.
 Do not modify the front glass or lenses of any fixture.
These requirements have to be followed regardless of whether a fixture is powered
on or off as the magnifying effect is an optical effect and therefore independent from
the (electrical) state of the fixture.
Especially when working with high powered beam-lights; extreme caution and
observance of these safety instructions is mandatory.
Should you have any questions about the operation of your fixture then please contact
your local GLP office, or their authorized distributor, a list of which can be found at
www.glp.de.
