clusters, LEDs exhi bit higher operati ng temperatures than i n ideal , singl e-LED conditions.
For this reason, using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the
LEDs’ lifespan. Under nor mal conditi ons, this lifespan can be 40,000 to 50, 000 hours. If
extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by improving the
ventilation around the product and reducing the ambient temperature
operating range. In addition, limiting the overall projection intensity may also help to
extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning
frequency.
As a rule, clean this product at least twice a month. Dust bui ld-up reduces light output
performanc e and can cause ov erheating. This can lead to reduced l ight source life and
increased mechanical wear.
To clean your product :
• Unplug the product from power.
• Wait until the product has cooled.
• Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on
the external vent s and accessible internal c om ponents.
• Clean all external opt ic s and plastic surfaces with a mild solution of non-ammonia
glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
• Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free c ott on cl oth or a lens cleaning tissue.
• Wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the lens or plasti c surface.
• Gently polish the lens or plastic surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the extern al optics and plastic surfaces thoroughly and carefully after
cleaning them.
DO NOT spin this product’s fan using compressed air.
