Lamp Alignment How-To

After the installation of a lamp, you may find that there is an uneven field of light or what is refered to
as a hot spot. This is due to the most intense point of the lamp source not being positioned optimally
within the reflector.
Lamp alignment screws
There are three lamp alignment screws provided at the base of the fixture. Turning these screws
allow you to optimize the projection quality of the spot as well as the overall intensity of the beam.
1. Project a white spot against any flat surface. Preferably the surface should be white or pastel in
color.
2. Turning the lamp alignment screws, try to position the hot spot in the center of the beam as best
as possible. This could require many attempts on your part. It is advisable to even out the
screws prior to lamp alignment as described in the illustration.
3. Once the hot spot is in the center of the spot, do your best to turn all screws equally as to affect
movement up or down within the reflector.
4. As you move in and out of optimum lamp focus, you will see the hot spot either get wider or
narrower. The goal is to either totally diminish the hot spot by having it widen and spread across
the entire spot or moving the hot spot so that it covers as much of the beam spot area as
possible.
