PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
• Use only the cables specified in this manual and on the Chroma-Q® website at www.chroma-
q.com to interconnect devices in the installation. If the specified cables are not long enough
for an intended cable run, consult Chroma-Q® for assistance in finding or creating a safe

• Before applying power to the installation, check that all power distribution equipment and
cables are in perfect condition and rated for the current requirements of all connected
devices.
• Isolate the installation from power immediately if any product, power cable or power plug is
in any way damaged, defective or wet, or if it shows signs of overheating.
• Do not immerse an Inspire™ fixture in water or expose it to high-pressure water jets.
PROTECTION FROM BURNS AND FIRE
• The Inspire™ is cooled passively by natural air convection. Provide adequate clearance for
airflow around the fixtures.

• Do not modify the Inspire™ in any way not described in this manual or install other than
genuine Chroma-Q® parts.
• Use only accessories approved by Chroma-Q®.

• Ensure that the installation hardware and supporting surface or structure can hold at least
10 times the weight of all the devices they support.
• Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing,
servicing or moving the Inspire™.
• As soon as work is completed, check that all hardware and components are securely
fastened to supporting structures.
• Make sure there are no flammable materials close to the product during operation.
• Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while the product is on.
• Never try to repair the product. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to damage

Product overview
The new Chroma-Q® Inspire™ LED house light is a powerful multi-purpose creative lighting tool
that utilises some of the innovative core technologies found in the incredibly popular Chroma-Q®
Inspire™ range. The Inspire™ provides a choice of beautiful whites, soft pastels and bold saturates
- all from one fixture. By incorporating industry standard DMX-512 control, the Inspire™ is able to
integrate seamlessly with an existing DMX infrastructure and can be controlled by any DMX
supported lighting console. With fully homogenised colour mixing and a choice of three different
lens options, the Inspire™ provides an excellent selection of stunning mixed colours and ‘true’
whites, with no unsightly colour separation shadows. It also features an energy-efficient compact
LED design providing reduced maintenance and running costs.
The Inspire™ fixture is built with a single light engine featuring 36 high powered LEDs (combination
of white, red, green and blue). Each model is equipped with a built-in power supply and can operate
as a standalone unit or be remotely controlled through the ANSI E1.11 USITT DMX 512-A protocol.
The control options incorporate a choice of multiple channel intensity control, effects and a dynamic
Variable Effects Engine integrated in the software, which gives the user full control of the effects
combination.
The product's robust anodised aluminium extruded construction houses a discreet cable
management system and additional protection built around the optics.
Note: HANDHELD light METERS
Handheld Light Meters provide a limited measuring range for LED fixtures, which may result in
inconsistent and unreliable measurements.
All photometric values listed in this document are based on testing and measurements conducted
by certified independent laboratories with reference to the IES standards.

2.7 Thermal Performance
The internal cooling system of the Inspire™ Addressing is by convection and the fixture is built with
automatic protection. The fixture’s automatic protection reduces the output when the internal
temperature reaches the maximum limit due to extreme ambient conditions.

Maintenance
With care, the Inspire™ Addressing fixture and external Control Box requires little maintenance.
However, as the unit is likely to be used in a stage environment, we recommend periodical internal
inspection and cleaning of any resulting dust and cracked oil residue.
Do not spray liquids on the front or rear panel. If the front enclosure requires cleaning, wipe with a
mild detergent on a damp cloth.
