the lamps during insertion and removal.

Please remember the lamp is not hot-restrike. You must wait approximately 10
minutes before you can restrike the lamp.
Do not ever operate LXE 700 Spot with the cover open. The lamp is a discharge lamp. All discharge lamps,
irregardless of the manufacturer or type, are very volatile and can explode. Great caution must be exercised
when working with these lamps otherwise serious injury can happen.
b) Mounting LXE 700 Spot
The installation of LXE 700 Spot has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight
for 1 hour without any deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety device (a safety cable).
Never stand directly below LXE 700 Spot when mounting, removing or servicing LXE 700 Spot.
The installer should make sure that LXE 700 Spot is installed correctly and that the installation is checked by
an expert on a regular basis.
If you are a rental house utilizing LXE 700 Spot, then use the appropriate half couplers (½ cheeseboros) to
secure the fixture to the truss or pipe. Remember to tighten down the cheeseboros before raising the truss.
Don’t laugh! It has been done before now. Remember with yoke fixtures on a flown truss, when you move them
the truss can move too. It’s just obeying Newton’s third law of motion: “to every action there is an equal and
opposite reaction”. Please remember this when securing the LXE 700 Spot fixture.
Cautions:
LXE 700 Spot
should be installed outside areas where people can reach it, walk by it or be seated underneath
it when being installed. Overhead mounting requires experience including, amongst other things, calculating
the working load limits and installation material being used. Periodic safety inspections should be done of

as the fixture does move. If you do not have the qualifications and experience, do not attempt
the installation. Improper installation can result in bodily injury to yourself or others.
Before mounting make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times LXE 700
Spot’s
weight.
Once installed then connect LXE 700Spot to the correct power source. 120 volts A.C.
