Procedure

The Legend 1200E Spot is equipped with a Phillips MSR1200SA/SE FastFit lamp. This lamp uses a socket that allows for fast and easy lamp changes. Follow the procedure below to safely change the Legend 1200E Spot’s lamp.

Never touch the lamp’s envelope (glass bulb) with your bare hands. FastFit lamps do not require touching the lamp’s envelope during removal or installation. If you touched the lamp’s envelope, clean it with isopropyl alcohol and wipe it with a lint-free cloth before installing it.

1)Turn the fixture off and disconnect it from the power outlet.

2)Wait at least 15 minutes for the lamp to cool down.

3)Loosen the two screws on the lamp cover (marked “A” in the diagram).

4)Lift and rotate the lamp cover as per the diagram to expose the base of the lamp.

5)Rotate the ceramic base of the lamp 90º counterclockwise.

6)Pull the lamp out by holding it from its base only.

7)Insert the new lamp and turn it 90º clockwise.

8)Reverse steps 3 and 4.

9)Use the adjustment screws (marked “B” in the diagram) to position the lamp in the center of the reflector to obtain the best output.

NEVER turn the fixture’s power off while the lamp is striking, as this can damage the lamp permanently.

ALWAYS turn the lamp off by using the DMX controller or the fixture’s control panel. Then wait at least five minutes before switching off the fixture. This will keep the fans running to extract any remaining heat from the fixture’s head.

ALWAYS wait 15 minutes to turn the lamp back on.

DO NOT touch the lamp without wearing gloves to avoid leaving grease on the bulb or on the contacts that could reduce the lamp’s life.

ALWAYS change the lamp when it has reached its recommended lifespan to avoid the risk of lamp explosion.
