POTENTIAL INTERNAL FIXTURE DAMAGE FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES OF LIGHT BEAMS
External sources of light beams from direct sunlight, lighting moving head fixtures, and lasers, which
are focused directly on the exterior housing and/or penetrate the front lens opening of ELATION
lighting fixtures, can cause severe internal damage including burning to optics, dichroic color filters,
glass and metal gobos, prisms, animation wheels, frost filters, iris, shutters, motors, belts, wiring,
discharge lamps, and LEDs.
This issue is not specific only to ELATION lighting fixtures, it is a common issue with lighting fixtures
from all manufacturers. Although there is no true way to fully prevent this issue from happening, the
guidelines below can prevent any potential damage from occurring 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 MOVING HEAD FIXTURES, AND LASERS WHILE UNPACKING,
INSTALLATION, USE, AND EXTENDED IDLE TIMES OUTDOORS. DO NOT FOCUS A LIGHT BEAM FROM
ONE LIGHTING FIXTURE DIRECTLY TOWARDS ANOTHER.
