Installation
Before installing the xture, the supporting structure (ie. truss) must be able to hold a minimum of 10
times the xtures weight without any deformation (eg. 15kg - 150kg point load). The xture must be
secured with a secondary safety attachment when being installed (ie. an appropriate safety cable).
Never stand directly below the xture when mounting, removing, and/or servicing.
Overhead installation requires experience and qualications to calculate working load limits, the
material being used at the installation area and periodic safety inspections of the xture and installation
material. If you do not have the relevant experience and/or qualications please do not attempt the
installation yourself. The installation should be checked annually by a qualied person.
The eLumen8 9RE Beam can be operated in a number of mounting positions as shown in the diagram
above, hanging upside-down from the ceiling or truss, mounting sideways on truss or stood upright on a
at level surface. The xture MUST be kept a minimum of 12m (40ft) away from any illuminated and/or
ammable materials (ie. decorations). Always use a safety wire as an extra safety precaution to prevent
damage/injury in the event a clamp fails (see the next page for clamp installation). Never use the carry
handles for secondary attachments.

Discharge Lamp Warnings/Replacement
Discharge Lamp Warning:
This xture is tted with a YODN MSD 260R9 Discharge Lamp, which is highly prone to damage if
improperly handled. NEVER touch the lamp with your bare hands, as the oil from your hands will shorten
the life of the lamp. NEVER move the lamp until the unit has had the appropriate time to cool. Discharge
lamps are NOT covered under the warranty that comes with this xture. Avoid switching the xture ON
and OFF repeatedly in short durations as this will reduce the lamps life and intensity. To achieve the
intensity discharge lamps are renowned for, the lamp uses gas sealed in a high pressure environment.
Due to this high pressure involved with the manufacture of the lamp, it MAY EXPLODE DURING
PROLONGED EXTENSIVE USE. This risk is increased with age and we recommend extra care is taken
when dealing with older lamps. The lamp must be replaced at the end of its recommended duty cycle.
Extreme caution should be taken when operating this or any xture tted with a discharge lamp.
Lamp replacement:
To ensure a safe lamp change please read the following instructions carefully.
The YODN MSD 260R9 Lamp MUST be replaced every 2000 hours or when damaged and/or deformed.
When the lamp needs replacing the display will show “Warning!!! Change Lamp”. This will then be
shown on each startup until the lamp is replaced. Press any button to continue operation.
See page 11 for instructions on changing the lamp.
Only use GENUINE YODN Lamps. Other branded lamps will cause damage and will void the
xtures warranty.
Disconnect the xtures power supply before replacing the lamp. Let the xture cool for a minimum
of 60 minutes before replacing the lamp.
Never touch the lamp with bare hands, always wear gloves as oil from hands will shorten the lamps life.
Make sure all covers/casings are replaced/secured before operating the xture to prevent risk and/or
damage to the eyes retina.
