• CAUTION: When transferring product from extreme temperature environments, (e.g. cold truck to warm humid ballroom) condensation may form on the internal electronics of the product. To avoid causing a failure, allow product to fully acclimate to the surrounding environment before connecting it to power.

• Mount this product in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20 in (50 cm) from adjacent surfaces.

• Make sure there are no flammable materials close to this product while it is operating.

• When hanging this product, always secure to a fastening device using a safety cable.

• Never carry the product by the power cord.

Power and Wiring

• Make sure the power cord is not crimped or damaged.

If your Chauvet product requires service, contact Chauvet Technical Support.

Expected LED Lifespan

LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, primarily because of heat. LEDs that are arranged in clusters experience higher operating temperatures than single LEDs. For this reason, operating clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this lifespan is 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by improving the ventilation around the product, thus reducing the ambient temperature. In addition, limiting the overall projection intensity may extend the LEDs’ lifespan.
