PROTECTIONFUNCTIONS
Temperaturecontrol
If the temperature of the light unit increases abnormally while the light is on, the
protection circuit will activate, and the lighting mode will be decreased by a level.
In this situation, if the light unit temperature decreases, the lighting mode will be
returned to its previous level.
Coolingfanstoppage
If, for any reason, the cooling fan stops, the light unit’s switch will flash. If you
leave the light on in this state and the temperature of the light unit increases, the
lighting mode will be decreased by a level. In this situation, the lighting mode will
not return to its previous level until you turn the power off.
If the fan stops, follow the procedure in “Removing the protective cover” to
remove the protective cover, and then use a gas duster or similar tool to remove
the cause of the fan stoppage. Follow the procedure in reverse to attach the pro-
tective cover.
