4.2 Lamp
Philips MSD Platinum 15R
Because of its high internal pressure, there might be a risk that the Discharge lamp would
explode during operation. The lamp emits intense UV radiation which is harmful to the eyes
and skin. The high luminance of the arc can cause severe damage to the retina if you take a
close look at the lamp.
To protect the lamp, always turn off the lamp first (via control panel or DMX controller) and
let the unit run at least five minutes to cool down before switching off the mains supply.
Never handle the lamp or luminary when it is hot.
Do not touch the bulb with bare hands. If this happens, clean the lamp with denatured
alcohol and wipe it with a lint free cloth before installation.
The lamp generates UV radiation. Never operate the lamp without appropriate shielding.
When lighting up, the lamp operates at high pressure and there is a slight risk of arc tube
rupture. The risk increases with age, temperature and improper handling of the lamp. Do not
use the lamp longer than its lifespan.
Make sure the lamp is located in the center of the reflector for the best projection.
4.3 Changing the Lamp
Do not use this lamp more than 2000 hours, Using the lamp any longer than its set life could seriously
damage your unit. Periodically checking the lamp running time, when the lamp reaches the 2000 hour
mark, or close to it, we strongly suggest you switch the lamp out. Clear the RESET TIME after you have
replaced the lamp.
To replace the lamp:
1. Ensure that the fixture is detached from power and has cooled down completely. It is a good idea to
allow the fixture to run for 10 minutes after the lamp has been turned off, so that the cooling fans
have time to works.
2. Loosen the two screws and open the fixture head covers.

3. Lift the lamp out of its recess, disconnect the lamp and connect a new lamp that must be the same
type with the old one. And then place the new lamp into the lamp recess.
Finally reinstall the head cover, fastening it securely before reapplying power.
