Lamp
Replacement
The Legend 1200E Spot is equipped with a Phillips MSR1200SA/SE FastFit lamp. This
lamp uses a socket that allows for fast and easy lamp changes. Follow the procedure
below to safely change the Legend 1200E Spot’s lamp.
Never touch the lamp’s envelope (glass bulb) with your bare hands. FastFit lamps
do not require touching the lamp’s envelope during removal or installation. If you
touched the lamp’s envelope, clean it with isopropyl alcohol and wipe it with a
lint-free cloth before installing it.
Procedure
1) Turn the fixture off and disconnect it from the power outlet.
2) Wait at least 15 minutes for the lamp to cool down.
3) Loosen the two screws on the lamp cover (marked “A” in the diagram).
4) Lift and rotate the lamp cover as per the diagram to expose the base of the lamp.
5) Rotate the ceramic base of the lamp 90º counterclockwise.
6) Pull the lamp out by holding it from its base only.
7) Insert the new lamp and turn it 90º clockwise.
8) Reverse steps 3 and 4.
9) Use the adjustment screws (marked “B” in the diagram) to position the lamp in the
center of the reflector to obtain the best output.

Increasing the
Lamp’s Life
• NEVER turn the fixture’s power off while the lamp is striking, as this can damage the
lamp permanently.
• ALWAYS turn the lamp off by using the DMX controller or the fixture’s control panel.
Then wait at least five minutes before switching off the fixture. This will keep the
fans running to extract any remaining heat from the fixture’s head.
• ALWAYS wait 15 minutes to turn the lamp back on.
• DO NOT touch the lamp without wearing gloves to avoid leaving grease on the bulb
or on the contacts that could reduce the lamp’s life.
• ALWAYS change the lamp when it has reached its recommended lifespan to avoid
the risk of lamp explosion.
