Do not cover the ventilation slots when operating to avoid internal overheating.
The maximum ambient temperature is 104° F (40° C). Do not operate this product at a
higher temperature.
In case of a serious operating problem, stop using this product immediately!
In the unlikely event that your CHAUVET® product may require service, please
contact CHAUVET® Technical Support.
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. Packaged in
clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal, single LED conditions.
For this reason, using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the
LEDs’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this lifespan can be of 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If
extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operational temperature by improving the
product’s ventilation and reducing the external temperature. In addition, limiting the overall
projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.
