Expected LED Lifespan
Over time, use and heat will gradually reduce LED brightness. Clustered LEDs produce more heat than
single LEDs, contributing to shorter lifespans if always used at full intensity. The average LED lifespan is
40,000 to 50,000 hours. To extend LED lifespan, maintain proper ventilation around the product, and limit
the overall intensity.

Lens Tubes
The following lens tubes are available for purchase:
•19°, 26°, 36°, and 50° with gel frame (6.25 in/159 mm accessories)
•5° gel frame (14 in/356 mm)
•10° gel frame (12 in/304 mm)
•14°, 15–30° and 25°–50° zoom gel frame (7.5 in/191 mm accessories)
Soft Focus Filter
The Ovation Rêve E-3 comes with a soft focus filter. To keep the soft focus filter in good condition:
•Ensure that no fingerprints are left on the filter, as this may cause the filter to heat unevenly and
eventually warp.
•When placing the filter in the holder, follow the orientation direction printed on the filter.
•When inserting shutter blades into the light path, note that the heat is reflected back at the filter. The
deeper the blades are inserted, and the longer the fixture runs, the more heat gets reflected on to
the filter, causing it to warp and potentially adhere to the shutter blades.
If there is a protective film on the soft-focus filter, it must be removed before use. The
filter is in a holder in the metal gobo slot.

To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean this product frequently. Usage and
environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning frequency.
Clean this product at least twice a month. Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause
overheating. This can lead to reduced light source life and increased mechanical wear.
To clean the product:
1.Unplug the product from power.
2.Wait until the product is at room temperature.
3.Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external
vents.
4.Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl
alcohol.
5.Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens-cleaning tissue.
6.Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
7.Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
