4.2 Light Source
PHILIPS MSD Platinum 18 R LL
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 Change The Lamp
Attention: The entire light path and lens of the luminaire must be thoroughly cleaned before
changing the bulb.
In the Work Mode, the lamp life is 1500 hours; when the Work Mode and the Sleep Mode are used
alternately, the lamp life is between 1500 and 6000 hours according to the ratio of lamp use time; in
the Sleep Mode, the lamp life is 6000 hours. Do not use the bulb beyond its lifetime, otherwise it
may damage the luminaire. Check the Lamp Use Time regularly. When the lamp replacement
warning appears, we strongly recommend that you replace the bulb. After replacing the bulb, the
use hours of the bulb must be cleared and reset.
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 screws on the head of the fixture and open the fixture head covers.
