On Lighting Rail:
Attach clamp tightly to yoke of fixture, according
to clamp mfrs. instructions. Hang clamp on pipe
or grid and tighten the large screw so that the
clamp and fixture are securely mounted. Do not
loosen bolt attaching clamp to fixture, to position
light. Attach safety cable between the fixture and
the rail for necessary security.
On Stand:
There are 2 options for stand mounting of the fix-
ture, using the 5/8" female stand fitting or using
the optional Male Stud. Choose proper size stand

Mounting the Fixture
Female 5/8" Stand-fitting:
For use on stand only. Allows mounting the fixture
on 5/8" male stand stud. Make sure the stand
is large enough to support the weight of the
fixture while maintaining good balance at the
desired height. Attach the female stand-fitting
tightly to the yoke and rotate yoke so it is on the
underside of the fixture. Tighten yoke, clamp lock-
ing lever, and place female stand-fitting over
stand, making sure that its locking screw is loos-
ened enough to allow the fitting to completely fit
over the 5/8" stand stud. Tighten knob, making
sure its screw is under the safety cut of the stand
fitting stud. Add additional weight to base of stand
for increased stability.
Male Stud (Code, FLS-MS):
For use of fixture with Matthews style stands that
have a female cup instead of a male stud. Attach
the optional Male Stud in the same manner as
described above for Female 5/8" Stand Fitting,
again rotating the yoke to the underside of the fix-
ture and tightening yoke clamp. Carefully place
Male Stud into female cup on stand top and tight-
en. Add additional weight to stand base for
increased stability.

Lowel Prime LED is not a color mixing
LED system. There are dedicated
Tungsten and Daylight color models.
However, for optimal color balance of light out-
put, tungsten color models have a small qty of
daylight (C) LEDs, and daylight color models
have a small qty of tungsten (W) LEDs, integrat-
ed into the front panels.
The color temperature of each fixture can be
changed slightly (aprox 100-200 degrees K) by
changing settings in the in DMX mode. This may
help critical color balance to other light sources.
See Changing DMX Operation Mode, in the SET
Function section of this instruction sheet.
