and two 3/8” mounting holes for mounting the fixture to Unistrut or a flat surface.
2. Two rubber friction washers that are to be placed between the mounting brackets and the end caps on either
end of the fixture allowing it to be held firmly in place upon tightening the locking knobs
3. Two locking knobs with ¼-20 threaded studs that screw into the end caps.

place. This protective lens is made from a special UV transmitting plastic and is designed not to yellow or
become brittle under normal operating conditions. Contact Wildfire or your local distributor for pricing
Louver Kit- This aluminum louver features 1” long blades spaced 2” apart that run perpendicular with the
lamps. Included in the louver are two small brackets that mount on either end of the fixture holding it in place.

Light Stand Mount - This aluminum mount enables you to attach your Effects Master fixture to any standard
light stand. (Optional 5/8” baby pin or TVMP adapter required) Contact Wildfire or your local distributor for

Setup
The first step is to install the mounting brackets on either end of the fixture (see fig. 2 in the Diagrams section of
this manual). Next install the lamps refer to Lamp Replacement on page 7 for correct installation.
Plug the fixture into the appropriate power source. If you are controlling the unit with a lighting control board you
will need to make sure it is plugged into a non-dim circuit. Do not at any time plug the fixture into a
dimmable circuit, doing so will damage the ballast in the fixture and void the warranty.
