ELATION PROFESSIONAL Technical Bulletin #005
POTENTIAL INTERNAL FIXTURE DAMAGE FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES OF LIGHT BEAMS
External sources of light beams from direct sunlight, lighting moving head fixtures, and lasers, which are
focused directly towards the exterior housing and/or penetrate the front lens opening of ELATION lighting
fixtures, can cause severe internal damage including burning to optics, dichroic color filters, glass and metal
gobos, prisms, animation wheels, frost filters, iris, shutters, motors, belts, wiring, discharge lamps, and LEDs.
This issue is not specific only to ELATION lighting fixtures, it is a common issue with lighting fixtures from all
manufacturers. Although there is no true way to fully prevent this issue from happening, the guidelines below
can prevent any potential damage from occurring if followed. Contact ELATION Service for more details.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE FIXTURE AND/OR FRONT LENS OPENING TO LIGHT BEAMS FROM DIRECT
SUNLIGHT, OTHER LIGHTING MOVING HEAD FIXTURES, AND LASERS WHILE UNPACKING,
INSTALLATION, USE, AND EXTENDED IDLE TIMES OUTDOORS.
DO NOT FOCUS A LIGHT BEAM FROM ONE LIGHTING FIXTURE DIRECTLY TOWARDS ANOTHER.
