Installation

Installing the Lamp

The Showtec Fascinator uses 2x lamps G6.35 120V 300W (ordercode 82310 / 80508) as manufactured by

all popular manufacturers. Use only the appropriate lamp for your unit.

Note that, product versions that use other lamps, may be offered in the future. Check your product

specification label for information.

Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before changing lamps.

The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat.

Do not install lamps with a higher wattage! Lamps with a higher wattage generate temperatures the

device was not designed for.

Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.

Procedure :

1. Loosen the screw on the bottom of the device.

2. Open the cover. Make sure to loosen one screw of the small lamp clamp (Fig. 3) Read lamp instructions.

Do not touch the lamp bulb glass. Oil on hands shortens the lamp life. (If you touch the bulb glass, wipe

off the glass with a clean, lint-free towel and rubbing alcohol.)

3. Insert the lamp pins into the small holes in the lamp socket and attach the small lamp clamp over the

lamp. Do the same for the second lamp.

4. Close the cover back and fasten the screw snugly.
