If you have questions about how to operate the fixture safely, please contact I-Pix. Warning! Class 2M LED product. Do not look into the beam from a distance of less than 40 cm (16 inches). - Page 4 Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 m (4 in.) around fans and air vents. Do not modify the fixture Apart from I-PIX accessories do not stick filters, masks or other materials directly onto the light. PROTECTION FROM INJURY Do not hang fixtures from each other. Use two OMEGA clamps per fixture or I-PIX SINGLE or DOUBLE YOLKS when suspending.

The performance of these light engines to i-pix's exacting colour specifications gives a tighter tolerance and improved colour performance, which makes tungsten lighting performance from the BB 4 possible. Daylight temperatures can also be found with ease and finally a fixture that does not need a nudge from amber to compensate.
