If you have any doubts or questions about how to use the GLP® Fusion Stick FS16Z lighting fixture safely, contact your GLP supplier for assistance. Your GLP supplier will be happy to help.
GLP and affiliated companies will take no responsibility for damage or injury resulting from disregard for the information in the user documentation. ● Check the GLP website at www.glp.de and make sure that you have the latest versions of the fixture’s Quick Start and Safety Manual and this user manual.

Safety ● Do not place any optical components other than Fusion FS16Z accessories from GLP onto the front of the fixture. ● Do not stick filters, masks or other materials onto the fixture. Do not block the light output in any way. The front surface becomes hot during operation and can melt or ignite objects that are in contact with the surface.
● Restrict access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing, servicing or moving the fixture. ● If the fixture becomes damaged, stop using it immediately and disconnect it from power. Do not attempt to use a fixture that is obviously damaged. Fusion Stick FS16Z User Manual Rev. A...
