An IP rated lighting xture is one, which is commonly installed in outdoor environments
and has been designed with an enclosure that eectively protects the ingress (entry)
of external foreign objects such as dust and water. The International Protection (IP)
rating system is commonly expressed as "IP" (Ingress Protection) followed by two
numbers (i.e. IP65) where the numbers dene the degree of protection. The rst digit
(Foreign Bodies Protection) indicates the extent of protection against particles entering
the xture and the second digit (Water Protection) indicates the extent of protection
against water entering the xture. An IP65 rated lighting xture is one, which has been
designed and tested to protect against the ingress of dust (6) and high-pressure water
jets from any direction (5).
MARINE/COASTAL ENVIRONMENT INSTALLATIONS
NOT suitable for marine and/or coastal environment installations. Installing
this xture in a marine and/or coastal environment may cause corrosion and/
or excessive wear to the interior and/or exterior components of the xture.

Consistent operational breaks will ensure fixture will function properly for many years.
ONLY use the original packaging and materials to transport the fixture in for service.
POTENTIAL INTERNAL FIXTURE DAMAGE FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES OF LIGHT BEAMS
External sources of light beams from direct sunlight, lighting moving head xtures, and lasers, which
are focused directly towards the exterior housing and/or penetrate the front lens opening of ADJ
lighting xtures, can cause severe internal damage including burning to optics, dichroic color lters,
glass and metal gobos, prisms, animation wheels, frost lters, iris, shutters, motors, belts, wiring,
discharge lamps, and LEDs.
This issue is not specic only to ADJ lighting xtures, it is a common issue with lighting xtures
from all manufacturers. Although there is no true way to fully prevent this issue from happening, the
guidelines below can prevent any potential damage from occurring if followed. Contact ADJ Service
for more details.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE FIXTURE AND/OR FRONT LENS OPENING TO LIGHT BEAMS FROM DIRECT
SUNLIGHT, OTHER LIGHTING MOVING HEAD FIXTURES, AND LASERS WHILE UNPACKING,
INSTALLATION, USE, AND EXTENDED IDLE TIMES OUTDOORS.
DO NOT FOCUS A LIGHT BEAM FROM ONE LIGHTING FIXTURE DIRECTLY TOWARDS ANOTHER.
This fixture is fitted with a DISCHARGE LAMP, which is highly
susceptible to damage if improperly handled. NEVER touch the
lamp with your bare hands as the oil from your hands will shorten
the life of the lamp. Also, NEVER move the fixture until the lamp
has had ample time to cool. Lamps are NOT covered under
warranty conditions. Avoid switching the fixture ON and OFF
repeatedly in short intervals as this will reduce lamp life and
intensity. To achieve the intensity associated with discharge
lamps, these lamps use gas sealed in a high-pressure
environment to emit a brilliant output.
Due to the high pressure involved with the construction of the lamp, the lamp MAY
EXPLODE DURING PROLONGED EXTENSIVE USE. This risk is increased with age;
added care is encouraged when dealing with older lamps. Thus, the lamp must always
be replaced at the end of their recommended duty cycle. Extreme caution should be
used when operating this or any fixture fitted with a gas discharge lamp.

severe damage to the retina. NEVER operate this fixture with
ANY of the protective covers removed. These covers have been
specially designed to shield against UV radiation.
