WALL MOUNT
The ST-200X is light enough that it can be hung from a wall by its wall-mount hole located centered
near the top of the back of the fixture. Side ventilation panels allow breathing room so it is important
to allow at least 12 inches of unencumbered space on both sides.

The ST-200X is equipped with a detachable clear front cover that doubles as a gel holder as
illustrated below.
1) Open the clear lamp cover by removing the thumbscrew.
2) Cut a piece of gel filter to match the size of the cover or slightly
larger. The size of the gel used in the illustration was a 6.5” by
6.5”.
3) Lay the gel over the opening, close cover and replace the
thumbscrew securely.
