4.2 Light Source
PHILIPS MSD Platinum 20 R
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
Attention: The entire light path and lens of the luminaire must be thoroughly cleaned before
changing the bulb.
Do not use this lamp more than 1500 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 1500 hour mark, or close to it, we strongly suggest you switch the lamp out. Reset the lamp
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 screws on the head of the fixture and open the fixture head covers.
3. Unplug the leads of the lamp and 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.
