- Page 8 View of Mounting Points The moving light head must be secured to a fixed mounting point by use of the four mounting holes in the base. These holes are sized for ½” or 12mm bolts. The weight and torque of the moving light head is such that it is not stable without the required mounting bolts.
- Page 9 Like the power supply the moving light head needs to have a source of fresh air for cooling purposes. Take extra care to ensure adequate air flow if the moving light head(s) are being installed in a confined space. NOTE: When making plans for installation of both the power supply and moving light head please take into consideration the need to allow access space for maintenance and repair.
