iv Desire Series v1.8.0 User Manual

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a

Desire Series by ETC

product.

Desire’s x7 Color System™ seven-hue technology produces a light and color quality that
conventional LED systems cannot duplicate. This unique color system produces bright, broad­spectrum whites and intense colors equally well, rendering pigments, objects, and skin tones
in a natural way.

Fire and Ice fixtures use elements of the x7 Color System for superior performance in deep
saturated colors.

Studio Daylight and Studio Tungsten fixtures use high-output white LEDs for maximum
brightness and efficacy. Studio Tungsten interacts very well with incandescent sources, while
Studio Daylight easily replaces a variety of HMI lamps and natural sunlight.

Quick Setups

You can use any one of the Quick Setups and fine-tune settings for either console operation
via DMX protocol or stand-alone operation. For advanced users, an expanded user interface
provides easy navigation to all settings and options.

Vivid, Lustr+, Fire and Ice, Studio HD

Some of the options include:

• Multiple DMX profiles ranging from a simple 3-channel RGB profile to 8-channel native color and
intensity control.

• Multiple dimming curve options.

• Preset colors and sequences for stand-alone operation.

• White point selection; white light and color behavior based on a specific color temperature white
light such as 3200K or 5600K.

• Loss-of-data behavior options.

• Power regulation modes; three output options that offer a choice between maximum light
output for lower duty cycles and maximum thermal stability and output consistency for higher
duty cycles.

Studio Daylight and Studio Tungsten

Some of the options include:

• Multiple dimming curve options.

• Presets and sequences for stand-alone operation.

•Strobe.

• Loss-of-data behavior options.

• Power regulation modes; three output options that offer a choice between maximum light
output for lower duty cycles and maximum thermal stability and output consistency for higher
duty cycles.

Note About LED Fixtures

All LED sources experience some lessening of light output and some color shift over time. Desire Series
fixtures have complex thermal management systems to minimize these changes. With typical usage, a
Desire fixture will still achieve at least 70% of its initial output after 50,000 hours of use (B50, L70). In
individual situations, LEDs will be used for different durations and different levels. This can eventually
lead to minor alterations in color performance, necessitating slight adjustment to presets, cues, or
programs.

All LEDs may exhibit a slight shift in output as they rise to full operating temperature. Desire Series
fixtures allow the selection of different power settings in order to balance the competing requirements
of thermal stability and brightness. Depending on the selected setting, changes in output as fixtures
warm up may or may not be visible to the eye.

Color Rendering Index and Color Quality Scale Ratings

Desire fixtures are evaluated for Color Rendering Index (CRI) and Color Quality Scale (CQS)
performance using measured output spectrum and optimized mix solutions for a best spectral match
to black body sources at 3200K and 5600K. Color fidelity is also measured. These numbers may
fluctuate slightly from fixture to fixture. This is a normal characteristic of white LEDs, and this kind of
variation is highly unlikely to be apparent in most applications. The performance is the same for all
fixture versions.

Fixture CRI CQS Color Fidelity TLCI Duv

Vivid at 3200K 87 89 89 65 0.000
Vivid at 5600K 90 92 92 74 0.000
Lustr+ at 3200K 86 88 88 66 0.000
Lustr+ at 5600K 93 92 90 86 0.000
Studio HD at 3200K 89 90 91 85 0.000
Studio HD at 5600K 92 94 94 91 0.000
Studio Tungsten at 3000K 86 86 86 56 0.001
Studio Daylight at 5600K 71 70 69 43 0.001

Desire luminaires provide excellent color rendering, particularly the color-mixing versions. A Duv rating
of 0.000 indicates that the color mix used was exactly on the black body line, with no green or
magenta tint.

Studio Daylight and Studio Tungsten fixtures use only white-type LEDs at a fixed color temperature in
order to maximize output and efficacy.

Installation Clearances

Cooling and Duty Cycle

Desire D22, D40, and D60X Series fixtures are convection cooled and can operate all channels at full
power continuously in ambient temperatures up to 40°C (104°F). The Desire D60 is equipped with a
cooling fan, which is automatically controlled.

If ambient conditions exceed 40°C (104°F) or fail to allow sufficient airflow over a long period of time,
the fixtures may shut down and remain off until they return to a safe operating temperature. The
fixtures provide two methods to indicate over temperature that can be set up on the Local Settings
menu. The over temperature indicators are:

• Visible: The LED array glows in a dull, low intensity with only some emitters illuminated, the LCD

backlight is turned on, the LCD displays Overtemp Activated, and the Error Indicator light turns
on.

• Dark: The LED array turns off and the LCD displays Overtemp Activated. The LCD backlight is not

turned on.

CAUTION:

Duty Cycle
Operating the fixtures in higher ambient temperatures or low-airflow

situations may cause the power supply to shut down. Following a cool-down
period, the power supply will automatically reset and the fixture will return
to operation.

It is good practice to power down any device with onboard electronics to limit
unnecessary wear on the devices and eliminate residual use of electricity.
When not in use, Desire fixtures should be powered down by disconnecting
from power either at the breaker or by unplugging.

LED life is adversely affected by high-temperature operation. When operating under elevated ambient
temperatures, avoid turning all channels to 100% for extended periods, such as channel checks or
focusing.

Data (D40, D40XT, D60, D60X)

The Desire series fixtures operate on a DMX control signal or as stand-alone fixtures. The fixture is
supplied with a 5-pin XLR DMX input connector and a 5-pin DMX Thru connector. DMX cables should
be acceptable for DMX data transmission (not microphone cable) and should follow the standard
pinout. The optional secondary data pair is not used by the Desire series fixtures. The maximum DMX
data run from any DMX source to the last fixture in a chain is 1000 feet (300 m). Termination is
required for the D40XT and D60X in the data thru port of the last fixture in each data chain. The D40
and D60 are self-terminated.

Termination

D40XT and D60X: The last fixture on a DMX line must be terminated with a 120-ohm resistor between
pins 2 and 3.

D22: The last fixture on a DMX/RDM line must be terminated with a 120-ohm resistor using one of the
following methods.

• Portable: The fixture is self-terminated, and therefore does not require other termination.

• Canopy: Terminate with the S1 switch on the Termination Board. Set the switch to the ON

position to terminate the last fixture. All others on the DMX/RDM line must be set to OFF.

• Track Mount: Terminate with a DataTrack DMX Term Block (part number 7066A1030) installed

at end of the track.

D40 and D60 model fixtures are self-terminating.

Indicator Lights

The indicator lights show the status of power input (blue), DMX input (green), and fixture errors (red).
When the DMX signal is lost, the green indicator flashes.

If the fixture status indicator is configured to Off, the indicator lights will not illuminate. For more
information, see

Local Settings

on

page 70

.

DMX Addressing

Addresses must be set between 1 and 510.

Each Desire fixture must be considered a separate DMX device for the purpose of DMX line-loading
calculations.

DMX line-loading practice dictates that no more than 32 devices can be daisy-chained together.
Consequently, no combination of Desire fixtures totaling more than 32 DMX devices should be
configured in one DMX line. For runs of fixtures totaling more than 32 DMX devices, split the DMX
runs by using a DMX splitter.

Note:

Depending on the selected fixture profile and activated features, a fixture with a
starting address higher than 499 may not have control of all parameters, even
though the highest address shown on the user interface is 512.

Addressing is not required for stand-alone operation.

Note:

When using RDM with D22 track fixtures, ETC recommends connecting no more
than 20 fixtures on a single run.

DMX Profiles

Desire D22, D40, and D40XT fixtures occupy 1 to 14 DMX channels depending on the profile and
which features are turned on. Desire D60 and D60X can occupy up to 15 DMX channels depending on
the profile and which features are turned on. The tables that follow describe the order and function of
each channel.

Vivid, Lustr+, Fire and Ice, and Studio HD Profiles

Direct Control

Direct Control uses one DMX channel per individual color within the LED array for a total of seven color
channels, arranged according to the <SectionOnly>Color Mixes table. Each channel controls the
intensity of the color from 0 to 100%. An additional, 8th DMX channel is used as a master intensity
fader for controlling the brightness of the overall fixture. Channel 9 is for strobe, when enabled.

HSI (Hue Saturation Intensity) and HSIC (Hue, Saturation, Intensity, Color Temperature (White Point))

The HSI profile uses 4 channels of DMX input, corresponding to 16-bit hue (two channels: coarse and
fine), saturation, and intensity. The HSI profile makes Desire fixtures compatible with conventional HSI
console profiles while capitalizing on fixtures’ expanded color capabilities. Channel 5 is for Strobe,
when enabled. Also see

HSIC is similar to HSI, except that it uses an additional 6th channel to control the color temperature of
the white point. White point is the color temperature of the white-light output when saturation is at
zero. The Red Shift function is automatically disabled in the HSIC profile. The white point address of the
D60 occupies a different address. For information about the D60 DMX footprint, refer to

Studio

The fixture produces only white-type light, which is adjustable from 2725 to 6450K. The Studio profile
uses 3 DMX channels to control Intensity, white point, and tint (the green/magenta balance). Tint is
adjustable without affecting the white point. All three control parameters are adjustable via DMX as
well as onboard with instant access via UI buttons (no menus to scroll).

Studio is the default mode for Studio HD fixtures. The Studio profile is also available on all other Desire

Strobe

In most profiles (Vivid, Lustr+, Fire and Ice, Studio HD), strobe is assigned to channel 5. It adds another
channel to any of the DMX profiles. Under the Advanced Settings menu, the strobe function may be
disabled and the additional channel for strobe will not be used by the fixture. With strobe at either
DMX value 0 or 255, the fixture output is constantly on. At DMX 1, the fixture strobes slowly and
increases in speed toward DMX 254.

Installation and User Interface 29

Plus Seven

Plus Seven adds precision color-control channels to the HSI, HSIC, RGB, and Studio profiles. For
example, HSI with Plus Seven enabled becomes a 14-channel profile. Placing channel 7 at a value over
51% activates the 14-channel profile within the fixture. The desired color and intensity is achieved by
using the HSI or RGB channels as a starting point. Channels 8 to 14 represent the native LED colors of
the fixture and allow you to adjust each color up or down in order to fine-tune the overall color output.

The D60 Plus Seven addresses occupy different addresses. For information about the D60 DMX
footprint, refer to

D60 (Vivid, Lustr+, Fire, Ice, Studio HD) D60X (Vivid, Lustr+, Studio HD)

on

page 33

.

Note:

When Plus Seven is enabled and the individual control channels have been adjusted,
those adjustments continue to apply after choosing a new color mix. For best results,
reset each of the individual control channels to 128 (50%) before choosing a new
initial color mix.

Note:

Depending on the initial color mix, some LED colors may begin at full intensity.
Moving the individual control channels for these colors from 128 to 255 (50–100%)
will produce no effective change from the initial color mix. Conversely, some LED
colors may begin at zero intensity, and moving individual control channels from 128
to 0 (50–0%) will produce no change.

Color Matching

The color output of all Desire fixtures is calibrated at the factory. When operating in the RGB, HSI,
HSIC, or Studio profile, each fixture makes accommodations for the specific LEDs in its array and
produces output that is consistent with other fixtures, whether or not they utilize LEDs from the same
production batch. Operating in the Direct Control profile or with Plus Seven settings adjustments
bypasses this calibration, and multiple fixtures may produce slightly different outputs when controlled
as a group.

Fan Control (D60)

Only the D60 fixtures have a fan. Thus, options for Fan Control are available only on D60 fixtures. The
Fan setting allows four options: DMX, Slow, Fast, and Automatic.

Note:

With Fan set to DMX, an additional channel of DMX control is added to the fixture profile, immediately
following the channel for Strobe. Control is as follows:

• DMX 0: Fan turns on and off automatically, as needed for cooling. Fan remains off when not
required by the fixture.

• DMX 1 to 254: Fan is forced on at a continuously variable speed from low to high. Occasionally,
the fan speed may be increased automatically by the fixture for additional cooling power when
required.

• DMX 255: Fan is forced on at its highest, loudest speed for maximum consistency of noise
produced by the fixture.

With Fan set to Slow, Fast, or Automatic, there is no channel for fan control within the DMX profile. At
Slow and Fast settings, the fan operates whenever the fixture is powered on, independent of other
fixture settings or control.

• Slow: Fan runs continuously at a low-noise speed. When necessary, the fan speed may be
increased automatically by the fixture for additional cooling power.

• Fast: Fan runs continuously at its highest, loudest speed, which never increases automatically.

• Automatic: Fan operation is intermittent and based entirely on the fixture’s internally calculated
cooling requirements.

The D60X does not have a fan, but a fan channel does appear in its profile.

Plus Seven adds precision color-control override channels to the HSI, HSIC, RGB, and Studio profiles.
When in one of the above profiles, enabling Plus Seven adds an additional seven channels to the profile
(e.g., a D40 fixture in HSI with Plus Seven becomes a 14-channel profile.) To enable Plus Seven, place
the Plus Seven Control channel at a value above 51%.

When using Plus Seven, the desired color and intensity is selected by using the HSI or RGB channels as
a starting point. From there, the additional seven channels represent an individual control channel for
each of the native LED colors of the fixture and allow you to adjust each LED color up or down to fine­tune the overall color output.

The D60 fixture Plus Seven channels are different from the D22 and D40. For more information, see

DMX Footprints and Channel Mapping

The first additional channel is an activation channel for the Plus Seven function. A value of 0 to 50%
(DMX 0 to 128) deactivates Plus Seven. A value of 51 to 100% (DMX 129 to 255) activates Plus Seven.
The remaining 7 additional channels correspond to the individual colors within the fixture’s LED array.

Using Plus Seven Control

1: On your lighting console, select a starting color point for the fixture output using the standard

control channels for RGB, HSI, etc.
2: Set the first additional channel to a value between 51 and 100% to activate Plus Seven.
3: Refine the fixture output by altering one or more of the 7 individual color channels.

• The starting point for each color is defined by the original color selection in step 1.

• The brightness of each color can be increased or decreased from the starting point to any
value between zero and full output.

• Colors already at full output will not change when the Plus Seven channels are moved up
from the starting point, and colors already at zero output will not change when the Plus
Seven channels are moved down from the starting point.

• The starting point on the Plus Seven color channels is 50% control level. If all the Plus Seven
color adjust channels are at 50%, the colors are at the original colors.

Once any one of the seven individual color channels is altered from its neutral starting
position, the settings for the original color point may no longer reflect the actual
output of the fixture.

When using RGB, HSI, HSIC, or Studio profile for color selection, each fixture makes
accommodations for the specific LEDs in its array and produces output that is
consistent with other fixtures, whether or not they use LEDs from the same
production batch.

Operating with Plus Seven enabled can override this calibration, and multiple fixtures
may produce slightly different outputs when individual color channels are altered
from their neutral starting points.

Output

Use Output to choose the optimal balance between two competing performance parameters,
maximum brightness and output consistency, by adjusting:

• How much the fixture limits the overall power to the LED array.

• How the fixture reduces output as internal fixture components heat up during use or in high
ambient temperatures.

The output options are described in the following sections.

Regulated

Regulated is a moderately constrained power or brightness with consistent output under typical use.
Power to the LEDs is separately regulated in order to maintain consistent brightness during the initial
fixture warm-up period. This is recommended for most indoor applications.

Protected

Protected provides the most consistent output possible with the greatest potential for reduced overall
brightness. This is best for outdoor use, changing environmental temperatures, and applications with
high requirements for consistency in extreme operating conditions.

52 Desire Series v1.8.0 User Manual

Boost

DMX

0 255

Boost provides the brightest possible output with the least guarantee of consistency. This is best for
applications with low duty cycles, loose brightness requirements, or where ambient temperature is
low.

1: On the Advanced Menu, scroll to LED Settings.

2: Press [].

3: With Output selected, press [] to toggle between the options.

4: Press [] or [] to commit the option.

Note:

In all Output settings, if the fixture gets too warm and internal components approach
unsafe operating temperatures, the total power to the LED array is gradually reduced
and proportionate brightness levels between the various colors of LEDs are
maintained as much as possible in order to preserve the overall color mix; however,
some minor shifts in output may occur. Power continues to ramp down as much as
necessary until internal fixture components return to a safe temperature. The fixture
displays a warning message on the home screen indicating that power budgeting is
in place, showing the percent of total power that is currently used.

If the fixture exceeds its maximum internal temperature, the fixture enters a cool­down state, stops responding to the control signal, shuts down most or all power to
the LED array, and displays its over-temperature status according to its setting for
over-temperature warning.

Curve

The dimming curve, commonly called curve, is the correlation between the change in the value of the
dimming control signal and the actual change in the fixture’s brightness. Curve is also the extent to
which the fixture lags in its response time to the control signal in order to facilitate smoothness in
dimming.

Standard

Standard is a modest curve for intuitive brightness changes at both high and low ends of the dimming
range. Standard provides moderate lag in response for good smoothness. It allows quick jumps in
brightness. Suitable for most applications.

Operation 53

Incandescent

Exaggerated curve mimics the response of tungsten on a conventional dimmer. Lag is quite
pronounced and present even in full on or off bumps. Incandescent provides extreme smoothness with
no instant changes. Best when fixtures must operate in sync with incandescent sources.

Output Frequency is the frequency in Hz at which the LED array pulses, or blinks, as a function of Pulse­Width Modulation (PWM). The frequency is adjustable in order to avoid visible flicker on video and film.
When altering the frequency in order to reduce noticeable flicker on camera, often only a small change
is required. The range is 920 to 1500 Hz in increments of 10. The default value is 1200 Hz.

For high speed exposure or rolling shutter cameras, use the High 25K mode. This increases the PWM
to 25,000 Hz and will result in flicker-free operation in most circumstances. To access the High 25K,
press the up arrow after reaching 1500 Hz in the Output Freq: field.

Changing the frequency from the default value can have a slight impact on the smoothness, color-mix
consistency, or both when dimming.

Red shift allows the fixture to match its dimming performance to that of a conventional tungsten lamp.
The fixture automatically changes its apparent White Point, or color temperature, as a function of
overall intensity. Red shift works with both white-light and colored-light output settings. It is also
known as amber drift and tungsten shift. Red shift is available only in the HSI and RGB profiles. It is not

Sequences

A Sequence is a timed series of presets. Up to 12 different Sequences may be altered for Preset
selections, crossfade rate, and link time. Only one Preset can be active at a time. The sequences can be
copied to other fixtures in the same data chain.

You can create your own custom sequence that includes two or more Presets. For example, you may
want to sequence through Presets 2, 4, 23, and 1, in that order. As you enter these into the sequence,
you also can set the rate and link time for each step.

Rate is the execution of the Presets’ Fade Times and Delay Times within the Sequence, relative to their
settings within the actual Presets. The available Rate range is 2 to 500%. The default is 100%.

A Rate of 100% represents running the Sequence with timing exactly as specified within the Presets.
A Rate above 100% represents running the Sequence with faster timing than specified within the
Presets. For example, with a Rate of 200%, a Preset with a Fade Time of 6 seconds would actually be
run within the Sequence in only 3 seconds.

A Rate below 100% represents running the Sequence with slower timing than specified within the
Presets. For example, with a Rate of 50%, a Preset with a Fade Time of 6 seconds would actually be run
within the Sequence in 12 seconds.

Any change to the Rate is updated live in the fixture memory. Pressing [] does not undo a change

Finishing the Sequence

After each of the steps have been configured, set the End State. End state is what the fixture does once
it completes the Sequence. Two end state options are available and both options repeat indefinitely
until the Sequence is deactivated. To access the end state options, you must first program an additional
and final step within the sequence using Preset 0. Preset 0 marks the end of the Sequence and opens
the End State menu line. Preset 0 may only be used once within a Sequence. If you want the Sequence
to repeat automatically, you may only define up to 23 steps with Presets 1 through 24, since the final
step must be reserved for Preset 0.

When similar fixtures’ DMX or data connections are linked together and there is no external DMX
signal going to them, one fixture automatically controls all other fixtures in the chain when a Preset,
Sequence, or Quick Color is initiated.

Master

Master is the one fixture that controls all fixtures in the daisy chain. By default, it is whichever fixture
had its Preset, Sequence, or Quick Color selected or adjusted most recently. The Master fixture can only
control Slave fixtures to produce identical output at the same time as itself. The Master fixture cannot
control Slave fixtures to operate individually or to run chase-type or time-offset sequences.

Changes and edits to Presets or Sequences that are made to the Master fixture may be copied to the
internal memory of all Slave fixtures for later use when these fixtures are disconnected from the data
daisy chain.

When operating as the Master fixture, the fixture displays Master on its home screen.

Figure-4.31 XYZ Status Screen Showing Master

Slave

A slave is any fixture in the data chain that is being controlled by the master fixture. By default, all
fixtures are slaves, except the one that had its Preset, Sequence, or Quick Color altered most recently.
A Slave fixture can only directly imitate the performance of the Master fixture.

When operating as a Slave fixture, the fixture displays Slave on its home screen.

Diagnostics

The Diagnostics menu provides access to detailed information about various aspects of the fixture’s

Recalibrate Fixture

Service technicians may use this option to calibrate the constant current driver electronics for the LEDs.

100%. The calibration is automatic and takes less than a minute. During this time, do not exit the
screen until it is complete.

CAUTION:

1: On the Diagnostics screen, scroll to Recalibrate Fixture.

2: Press [].

3: When asked if you are sure, select Yes and press [].

A new screen shows that the calibration is in progress and whether the LEDs pass the calibration.

This calibration process does not measure or recalibrate the light output of
the LEDs.

Under normal use, it is not necessary to recalibrate the fixture, and doing so
will likely have no beneficial effect on fixture performance. It is therefore
NOT recommended to recalibrate the fixture without express instruction
from an authorized technician.

When operating without an external control signal, the quality of the white light can be adjusted
immediately and directly via menu options on the home screen.

When fixtures are connected together and there is no external control signal, all adjustments that you
make on one fixture are automatically made on the connected fixtures.

Studio DMX Control

When controlled via DMX, the first three channels adjust the output in the following order. Channel 5
controls strobe.

When adjusting white point via DMX, the full gamut of 2725 to 6450K is available, but common
settings of 3200K and 5600K are quickly accessible at the lowest and highest pairs of DMX values,
respectively. The range of control on channel 2 is distributed as follows.

DMX Value White Point

000 to 001 3200K
002 to 253 Adjustment from 2725 to 6450K
254 to 255 5600K

When adjusting tint via DMX, the range of control on channel 3 is distributed as follows.

DMX Value Tint

000 to 001 Neutral white (at the specified white point)
002 to 127 Full plus-green to neutral white
128 Neutral white
129 to 255 Neutral white to full minus-green (full magenta)

Additional channels for other functions, such as strobe and Plus Seven, can also be activated, if desired,
starting with channel 4.

Note:

When using DMX to control the fixture in Studio mode, the default data-loss
behavior is different than in other operational modes. If the DMX signal is lost, the
fixture automatically holds the last look forever (HLL-4ever). This look persists
through infinite off/on power cycles until the DMX signal is restored or the fixture
settings are adjusted manually via the user interface.

When powering down the fixture in Studio mode, continue to supply DMX to the
fixture until after the fixture has powered down. If you power down the fixture
before the fixture has finished saving the last look, the fixture may return to default
settings when powered up again instead of holding the last look.

Up to 32 D60X fixtures can be daisy-chained on a DMX/RDM network. Each fixture can have an unique
DMX address, and each address can be configured separately. Also, more than one fixture can have
the same address, allowing you to configure fixtures identically.

You can use an RDM configuration tool or an RDM lighting control device to configure the fixtures. An
RDM configuration tool is installed on a PC, which is connected to the DMX/RDM network via
Gadget II or a DMX/RDM gateway. After the fixtures are configured, Gadget II or the gateway can be
disconnected and a DMX or RDM control device can be connected to the network for continued
operation.

80 Desire Series v1.8.0 User Manual

Routine Maintenance

To ensure optimum performance of your Desire series fixture, you should perform the following
inspections and cleaning at least once a year. You may need to inspect or clean the fixture more often,
depending on the type and amount of use your fixture experiences during the year.

CAUTION:

Allow fixture to cool down completely prior to cleaning.
Disconnect all power and DMX cables prior to cleaning.
Check for excessive dust or debris in the heat-dissipating fins around the

entire fixture enclosure. Clean using compressed air or a soft cloth. Keeping
the components of the enclosure clean facilitates efficient cooling and
extends LED longevity.

NEVER spray liquids into the fixture.
NEVER spray compressed air into a fixture that is powered-up.

A can of compressed air or oil-free air from an air compressor set at a low setting can be

used to blow through the vent holes and remove dust or other debris from the interior of
the fixture. Dust buildup can cause overheating and premature shutdown.

Remove the secondary lenses (if used) and clean out any dust and debris. All components,

including the secondary lenses, can be cleaned using compressed, oil-free air as described
above or a clean micro-fiber cloth. The use of any liquid cleaning solution is not
recommended for Desire fixtures.

Inspect all mounting hardware for wear and, if necessary, clean using compressed,

oil-free air or a soft, lint-free cloth.
