Page 9: Focal Adjustment
Focal Adjustment: Power on the fixture and remove the barrel by unscrewing it from the middle of the fixture. Be sure to never look directly at the LED while the fixture is on. Now, move the primary optic as close to the LED as possible and the secondary optic as far from the LED as possible on the optic slider rails. - Page 10 To widen the beam move the primary optic forward about 1 mm, and then move the secondary object backward along the optic slider rails toward the LED until the beam comes back into focus. Repeat this process until you have your desired projection size. At the maximum beam size, the primary and secondary optics will be touching each other at about 1/4 of the length of the optic slider rails.
