Unpacking Instructions

Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure

retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself

returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.

Your shipment includes:

● Showtec Double3 Derby LED Q6

● IEC Power cable (1,0 m)

LED Expected Lifespan

LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration
of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular
optimum conditions. For this reason, when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is
significantly reduced. If improving the lifespan is of higher priority, place care in providing for lower
operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall
projection intensity.
