Mounting The Defenders can be mounted in any position using the locking mounting bracket. If a lamp with a Dichoric reflector is used in the defender range it is recommended that the lamp is not run with the lamp pins higher than the bulb of the lamp as this may shorten the lamp life. Do not mount the unit where it will be exposed to excessive vibration, smoke or moisture and ensure that there is at least 100mm clearance around the fan and vents. -
