    VARI❋LITE - VL550 W UMINAIRES ERVICE ANUAL Equipment Handling Below are some basic tips and information on handling VL550 luminaires and their associated components. Locations/Use ❋ VARI LITE luminaires are designed for dry locations only. Exposure to rain or moisture (including, but not limited to, fog machines, misters, etc.) may damage luminaires.

  • Page 37: Solid State Electronics

    AINTENANCE • When the lamp is struck, the luminaire should be maintained in a horizontal position when not in use. • For arc lamp luminaires, heads should be tilted horizontal before starting lamps. Lamps generate light by an electrical discharge arc, whereby the electrons from two electrodes excite the fill components to give off light.
