Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external
optical lenses and mirror should be carried out periodically to optimize
light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which
the fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy club
use we recommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will
ensure longevity, and crisp output.
