Lamp Optimization

The lamp orientation and optimization must be adjusted after every lamp change. This procedure centers the lamp in the reflector. Proper optimization will increase lamp life and ensure a bright crisp output. Improper optimization may add a yellow tint to the lamp output and reduce intensity. The minimum deviation amount is 1.0mm. Running the fixture within a lower deviation can cause damage to the lamp and/or lens.

The Design Par 575H™ lamp holder is aligned at the factory. However, due to slight imperfections in all lamps, fine adjustments will improve light performance. Please follow the procedure below for proper lamp optimization:

1.Using either a DMX controller or the control panel on the unit (see “SPOT” in the fixture menu on page 26), strike the lamp and focus the light on a flat surface (beam open, white, no gobo, no effect).

2.Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) using the 3 adjustment screws labeled 1, 2, and 3 as illustrated on the next page. Turn one screw at a time to drag the hot-spot diagonally across the projected image. If you cannot detect a hot-spot, adjust the lamp until the light is even.

3.To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three screws clockwise a 1/4-turn
