Fixture Assembly

The 4Bank xture is comprised of a removable Louver, Reector and Lamp Harness.
The Louver and Reector are held in place with Velcro fasteners. The Lamp Harness
is secured by means of a ¼ turn fastener and two clips.

To Release the Lamp Harness

Remove the harness from 2 clips located under the reector. Rotate the ¼ turn
fastener clockwise to release harness.

The lamps can operate independent of the xture
allowing them to be built into sets or custom soft boxes

or hand-held as a single tube for an eye-light.

WARNING: Always use safety-coated lamps to avoid

injury if lamp breaks.

Lamp Harness Color Codes

4Bank Harness

The Harness wiring is color-coded. The same color-code must match at each end of

the lamp for proper operation.

Inserting Lamps

Locking Lamp Connector:

Depress both tabs on lamp connector and apply to lamp pins.
Match the Harness color-codes at each end of the lamp.
Push lamps into the xture’s Lamp Holder Clips.

Gelling the Fixture

Restricting the airow around the lamps can cause the lamp to
operate hotter. This increased heat will raise the lamp’s color
temperature and green spike. Therefore, it is recommended to
clip gels to the doors of the xture.

Remove Louver. Do Not clip gels to louver.
Do Not block the xture ends in a manner that restricts airow.
