Important note: The GKV range of lamps uses a very compact filament in order to achieve its highly efficient output. For this reason, the lamp filaments are close to each other and are therefore sensitive to shocks. Great care should be taken when adjusting the lamp and focusing the luminaire to avoid shocks.
Important Note: The quoted performance figures are achieved with Philips lamps. Other manufacturers lamps can be used, but no assumptions should be made as to relative performance.
Please refer to the instructions of the lamp manufacturer when disposing of failed lamps.
Mounting your Luminaire
A safety bond MUST always be used when rigging luminaires on bars, ladders, etc. The SPX is supplied with a rated safety bond permanently attached. This is the only recommended anchor point for the luminaire. Be careful to allow sufficient slack to allow the luminaire to be focused freely.
An extra safety bond attachment points has been provided for accessories placed in the front of the lens tube. Do not use to secure accessories weighing more than 2.5kgs / 5 ½ pounds.
The SPX uses universal burning position lamps. When possible however, it is
considered best practice to mount the luminaire so the yoke is horizontal and the power cable at the bottom. Please note that the maximum tilt angles of the luminaire are 90° either side of horizontal.
To Mount on a Theatre Standard Scaffold Pipe
(48mm O.D.) Use a theatre hookclamp (Order Code: 20HC). Your luminaire is supplied with an M12 (or ½” for North America) set screw, two washers and a nut. Pass the set screw through the yoke hole from the inside, put on a washer, then the hookclamp, another washer and then tighten the nut.
The luminaire should be at least 1.2 metres / 4ft away from the nearest object it is lighting.
SPX Monocoque Yoke
The SPX has a monocoque yoke delivering twice the rigidity of a steel yoke, it includes integrated cable guides. Use these for tidying the power cable or accessory cables.
