Lamp

You will need to install a lamp prior to the initial operation of the fixture. An MSD 250W lamp is
included.
Warning! When replacing the lamp, please wait 15 minutes after powering down to allow the
unit to cool down! Always disconnect from main power prior to lamp replacement.
Do not touch the envelope (glass area) of the bulb with bare hands. If this happens, clean the lamp
with alcohol and wipe it with a lint free cloth before installation.

Lamp Installation

1) Remove all 3 screws located on the
top cover of the fixture.
2) Remove the 2 thumbscrews to
remove lamp cover as illustrated.
3) If replacing the lamp, remove old
lamp first.
4) Holding the new lamp by its base,
align the pins on the lamp with the
holes in the socket and insert the
lamp squarely until the lamp socket
secures the lamp tightly.
5) Clean the glass/envelope of the
bulb with an alcohol wipe or
equivalent.
6) Replace lamp cover, align the screw
holes and fasten the thumbscrews
back onto the lamp cover.
7) Replace top cover and fasten with
screws.
8) Turn the fixture on and adjust the
lamp alignment screws until the
brightest most even area of the
beam is in the center of your spot. It
may be necessary for you to use a
controller in order to command the
fixture to display a white beam on a
flat surface with no gobos or colors.

To ensure the longest and most efficient use of the lamp always wait between 10 and 15 minutes
before re-applying power after a shutdown.
Failure to do so could result in premature aging of the lamp and failure to the electronics that drive it.
Never turn off the power to the unit while the lamp is striking. Always wait 15 minutes after powering
on the fixture before powering down. Turning off the lamp during striking may permanently damage
the lamp.
