ual. Eliminator Lighting is not responsible for injury and/or damages resulting from the misuse of these
devices due to the disregard of the information printed in this manual. Only qualified and/or certified
personnel should perform installation of these devices and only the original rigging parts included with

MANUAL VOID THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY AND ARE NOT SUBJECT TO

ANY WARRANTY CLAIMS AND/OR REPAIRS.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

• DO NOT TOUCH fixture housing during operation.

• Turn OFF the power and allow approximately 15 minutes for the fixture to cool down before
performing any repairs or maintenance.

• DO NOT shake fixture, and avoid brute force when installing and/or operating fixture.

• DO NOT operate fixture if the power cord is frayed, crimped, damaged and/or if any of the power

cord connectors are damaged and do not insert into the fixture securely with ease.

• NEVER force a power cord connector into the fixture. If the power cord or any of its connectors
are damaged, replace it immediately with a new cord or connector with the same power rating.

• DO NOT block any air ventilation slots. All fan and air inlets must remain clean and never blocked.

Allow approx. 6” (15cm) between fixture and other devices or a wall for proper cooling.

• When installing the fixture in a suspended environment, always use mounting hardware that is no
less than M10 x 25 mm, and always install fixture with an appropriately rated safety cable.

• Always disconnect fixture from main power source before performing any type of service and/or
cleaning procedure.

• Only handle the power cord by the plug end, and never pull out the plug by tugging the wire
portion of the cord.

• During the initial operation of this fixture, a light smoke or smell may emit from the interior of the

fixture. This is a normal process and is caused by excess paint in the interior of the casing burning

off from the heat associated with the lamp and will decrease gradually over time. Consistent

operational breaks will ensure fixture will function properly for many years.

• ONLY use the original packaging and materials to transport the fixture in for service.

• REPLACEMENT LAMP – LL-PAR 38 150W 110V LAMP

• ALWAYS disconnect light from main power and allow 15 minutes for cooling before performing
lamp replacement.

• NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.

• Power cords should be safely routed and secured so they are not likely pinched.

• Disconnect power cords during long periods of non-use.

• Only use recommended rigging hardware as described in this guide.

• The fixture should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged.
B. Objects have fallen onto, or liquid has been spilled into, the appliance.
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain or water.

D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in

performance.

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE!

CLEANING

Frequent cleaning is recommended to ensure proper function, optimized light output, and an extended
life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the device operates: damp,

smoky, or particularly dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the surface of the

device and/or light fixture optics. Clean the external surface and the front lens of the light periodically

with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation

NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.

MAINTENANCE

Regular inspections are recommended to insure proper function and extended life. There are no user
serviceable parts inside these devices. Please refer all other service issues to an authorized ADJ ser­vice technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local ADJ

dealer.

Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:

• A detailed review by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure the circuit
contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.

• Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Loose screws may fall out
during normal operation, resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.

• Check for any deformations on the light housing, lens, gel frame, rigging hardware and rigging

points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations could allow for dust to enter into the devices.
Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the devices to fall and seriously injure a

person(s).

• Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or sediments.

BEFORE RIGGING/MOUNTING FIXTURE TO ANY METAL TRUSS/STRUCTURE OR CEILING, A
PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT INSTALLER MUST BE CONSULTED TO DETERMINE WHETHER
THE METAL TRUSS/STRUCTURE OR CEILING IS PROPERLY CERTIFIED TO SAFELY HOLD
THE WEIGHT OF THE FIXTURE. THE MOUNTING SURFACE OR STRUCTURE MUST BE
CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING A MINIMUM POINT LOAD OF 10 TIMES THE WEIGHT OF THE
DEVICES.

INSTALLATION

AIMING THE LIGHT SOURCE

Experiment with different angles and distances before mounting the light in its final position in order to

achieve the desired result.

MOUNTING LIGHT SOURCE

The light can be mounted onto a truss using a properly rated clamp (not included), or to a flat surface

using the mounting hole on the top of the bracket/yoke. Any mounting surface must be able to support
at least 10 times the total weight of the light. Please consult a professional for ceiling installation

guidance.

GEL FRAME

Gel sheets (optional) can be used to modify the light output of the fixture. To use a gel sheet, slide
the gel frame upwards from the light fixture and place a gel sheet in the frame. Trim the gel sheet, if
desired, and reinstall the gel frame by sliding it back into the fixture.

12

LAMP REPLACEMENT

Make sure light is disconnected from the power source, and allow 15 minutes for the fixture to cool if
has been operating. Remove the gel frame, then unscrew bulb by turning counter clockwise. Replace
bulb and reassemble the fixture.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

The light does not turn on.

• Confirm the light is connected to AC power.

• Check the circuit breaker that controls the AC outlet the light is plugged into, and reset or replace
the breaker if it has been tripped.

• Confirm the AC power cord from the light is not damaged or cut.

• Confirm the light bulb is not damaged or loose.

• If none of these solutions work, please contact ADJ Customer Service.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can the fixture be mounted onto to a ceiling?

Yes, it can be affixed to any flat ceiling surface that can support at least 10 times the combined total
weight of the fixture and any mounting accessories. Careful planning must be used when calculating
the combined weight and determining if the flat ceiling surface can support the weight of the fixture.
