2.7 Thermal Performance

The Studio Force D Phosphor is built with an internal fan for internal cooling. The fixture output is automatically reduced when internal temperature exceeds 75ºC for automatic protection. This happens on rare and extreme conditions when ambient temperature is over 35ºC or the internal fans are blocked or damaged.

The airflow to and from the fan must not be constricted to maintain the maximum operating capacity of the Studio Force D Phosphor fixtures.

5. Maintenance

With care, the Studio Force D Phosphor fixtures require 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.
