POTENTIAL INTERNAL FIXTURE DAMAGE FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES OF LIGHT BEAMS
External sources of light beams from direct sunlight, moving head lighting fixtures, and
lasers which are focused directly towards the exterior housing and/or penetrate the front
lens opening of Elation lighting fixtures can cause severe internal damage, including burning
of optics, dichroic color filters, glass and metal gobos, prisms, animation wheels, frost
filters, irises, shutters, motors, belts, wiring, discharge lamps, and LEDs.
This issue is not unique to Elation lighting fixtures, but rather it is a common issue with
lighting fixtures from all manufacturers. Although there is no true way to completely prevent
this issue from occurring, the guidelines below can reduce the risk of any potential damage if
followed. Contact Elation Service for more details.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE FIXTURE AND/OR FRONT LENS OPENING TO LIGHT BEAMS FROM
DIRECT SUNLIGHT, OTHER LIGHTING OR MOVING HEAD FIXTURES, AND LASERS DURING
UNPACKING, INSTALLATION, USE, AND EXTENDED IDLE TIMES OUTDOORS. DO NOT
FOCUS A LIGHT BEAM FROM ONE LIGHTING FIXTURE DIRECTLY TOWARDS ANOTHER.
