3.Holding the new lamp by its base, align the pins on the lamp with the small hole in the socket and insert the lamp squarely until the retaining clips on the lamp socket secure the lamp tightly.

4.Clean the glass/envelope of the bulb with an alcohol wipe or equivalent.

6.Align the screw holes and fasten the screws back onto the lamp socket plate.

7.If you are replacing the lamp, you may want to log the fixture hours in order to track the lamps use. Navigate to the H000 on the menu display to obtain this information. Please note that it is normal for the fixture to have logged a few hours of testing prior to your use.

until the brightest most even area of the beam is in the center of your spot. It may be necessary for you to use a controller in order to command the fixture to display a white beam on a flat surface with no colors.

Maximizing the life of your lamp

To ensure the longest and most efficient use of the lamp always wait between 10 and 15 minutes before re-applying power after a shutdown.

Failure to do so could result in premature aging of the lamp and failure to the electronics that drive it.
