mains operation. DMX input and output is via 3 pin XLR connectors. The high output
40 degree lenses give excellent coverage.

unit & electronics from mains surges.

The unit can be floor standing or hung via it’s double yoke which has a secure lock-off
screw knob to lock in position.

Care of your LED Fixture

Please note that these lights MUST NOT be powered through a
Dimmer or Non-dim (Dimmer set to switch mode)

Power for LED Lights must be from a constant 13a supply
(13a socket) only. If in doubt please ask before connecting.

Please note: This Led light is designed to create washes, it is not recommended

to use all 4 colours (RGB &W) at full output simultaneously to create an extra
bright white light for anything other than short periods of time. Use over an
extended time in excess of 15 minutes will overhead the LED chips and cause
their failure which is not covered by the guarantee.

LED Lights use a technique called constant voltage so even when no light
output is visible they are in fact still working. Therefore ensure the lights are
switched off or unplugged when not in use.

Care of your LED Fixture Continued……

The Light has a Powercon in and out socket on the rear for easy daisy chaining of
units. The IN (Blue Socket & Plug) should be connected to the permanent 13a
mains supply whilst the OUT (White Socket & Plug) can be used to link to the
next unit in the chain. A maximum of 12 units cab be linked in this fashion. For
additional units an additional 13a mains feed will be required.

For protection of the Electronics an external 3.15a 20mm fuse is located on the
back panel. Please disconnect from the mains supply before re-fusing the unit.

When powered down the unit will remember it’s last setting as long as the Enter
button has been pressed to store the setting. If this is the case the unit will recommence
operation in the ‘saved’ mode on power up.

It is important to regularly clean the dust of the light, particularly in a permanent
lighting rig as the build up of considerable dust will impare the effectiveness
of the built in cooling fan.

The VK1810w is identical except it is IP65 rated. This rating means the light
cab be used outside in the wet. However it CANNOT be submersed in water.
Because it is IP65 rated the unit has trailing mains in and out connectors with
16a Mains connectors instead of the Powercon sockets. Also there is no
external fuse as this would degrade it’s IP status.
