• Keep all combustible materials (e.g. fabric, wood, paper) at least 100 mm (3.9 in.) away from the fixture.
• Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture.
• Ensure that there is free and unobstructed airflow around the fixture.
• Do not illuminate surfaces within 200 mm (7.9 ins.) of the MAC Aura.
• Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses.
• If you relay power from one fixture to another using power throughput sockets, do not connect more than

• Do not look at LEDs with magnifiers, telescopes, binoculars or similar optical instruments that may
concentrate the light output.
• Fasten the fixture securely to a surface or supporting structure before applying power (see "Accessories"
on page 34 for suitable mounting hardware).
• Ensure that any supporting structure and/or hardware used can hold at least 10 times the weight of all the
devices they support.
• If suspending from a rigging structure, fasten the fixture to a rigging clamp with an M12 bolt screwed into
the threaded hole in the center of the base of the fixture. The bolt must protrude at least 20 - 30 mm
(0.8 - 1.2 ins.) into the fixture. If the fixture is suspended by any other method, an M12 bolt must be
tightened into this hole so that it protrudes at least 20 - 30 mm (0.8 - 1.2 ins.) into the fixture.
• If the fixture is installed in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, install as described in
this manual a secondary attachment such as a safety cable that is approved by an official body such as
TÜV as a safety attachment for the weight that it secures. The safety cable must comply with EN
60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6 and be capable of bearing a static suspended load that is ten times the weight
of the fixture and all installed accessories.
• Allow enough clearance around the head to ensure that it cannot collide with an object or another fixture
when it moves.
• Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened.
• Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing, servicing or
moving the fixture.
• Do not operate the fixture with missing or damaged covers, shields or any optical component.
