Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that
all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture
must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box
and packing.
AC Power
To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate of
the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart. A fixture’s listed current rating is its average
current draw under normal conditions. All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and
cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer
channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch. Before applying power to a
fixture, check that the source voltage matches the fixture’s requirement.
Check the fixture or device carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection
switch exists that it is set to the correct line voltage you will use.
Warning! Verify that the power select switch on your unit matches the
line voltage applied. All fixtures must be connected to circuits
with a suitable Earth Ground.

Foreword
Both the Q-Spot™ and the Q-Spot™ 150 fixtures are identical in electromechanical effects and
control. The main difference lies in the lamp each product uses.
The Q-Spot™ 150 utilizes the HTI® 150 High Intensity Discharge lamp source. This is a modern lamp
technology that provides higher color temperature of the light beam, at 6,500°Kelvin, longer lamp life
and lower power consumption at only 150 watts. This color is considered true white, also known as
daylight.
The Q-Spot™ uses the ever popular EHJ halogen lamp. It is a powerful and economical lamp. At 250
watts it provides just over of the same intensity measured in lumens as the HTI® 150 though at the
expense of shorter life. However, the EHJ is a much more economical purchase than the HTI® 150.
Both lamps are well suited for the job.
