The Propeller™ is ready to be hung or set on a flat surface. The Pro­peller™ produces a multiple dichroic colored beams of light that spin in
a propeller type motion. This unit is sound active allowing the colorful
beams of light to react to low frequencies via an internal microphone.

The unit has been equipped with a lamp and is ready to be hung
or set on a flat surface. Plug the unit’s power cord in to a standard
110v~120v outlet. Unit will react to bass sounds of music via its
internal microphone. The audio sensitivity is preset there no need
for any adjustments. For best results, we suggest using with fog or
special effects smoke. This will enhance the effects by allowing you
to see the beams of light.

be mounted in any safe position or set on a flat stable surface.

well ventilated area. Never open the unit while in use. Avoid touching
the lamps, the lamp will get extremely hot under normal usage and

Propeller™ Cleaning

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust, cleaning the internal and external
optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light output.

1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside
casing.

2. Use a brush to wipe down the fan grill.

3. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every
20 days. Situation may very. If used heavily in clubs with lots of
fog, cleaning may be required more often.

4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every
30-60 days.

5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the
unit in.

Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture
operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). Proper cleaning may
extend the life of your unit drastically
