1. WARNINGS AND INFORMATION
High voltage!
Before opening any part of the fixed light system, make sure all power is switched
off!
UV-light! (models CL10-02 and CL15-02)
The UV-light used by ColorLight is chosen for most efficient result in marine
applications. The wavelengths are below 400 nanometers, thus not visible for the
human eye. An intensive radiation is generated from the high luminance of the
arch inside the bulb and should not be glared into from close distance.
Intentionally ColorLight is allowing a small leakage of white light making the beam
vaguely detectable in fog. Avoid quick switch on and switch off as it may shorten
the lifetime of the bulb. Allow a couple of minutes cool down period, if possible.
UV-light overheat
CL10 and CL15 fixed lights are designed and built primarily for the marine
environment.
UV light generates a lot of heat and we use ambient air as a coolant for our lamp
body. For uses other than marine this must be taken into account so that sufficient
cooling is available or to adapt the operating time to prevent overheating damage
such as cracked UV glass.
Eye safe exposure time for UV
CL10-02, CL15-02: Max 2 minutes at 1 m. Max 4 minutes at 2 m. Max 9 minutes
at 4 m. Max 65 minutes at 9 m.
Welding eye glasses are recommended if you for some reasons have to expose
your eyes longer periods at those close distances.
We see no reason for such exposure even at service activities. Sunglasses are
also good protection.

Bulb
When changing bulb be sure to not touch the surface of the bulb with bare fingers.
If inadvertently touched with bare fingers it should be degreased immediately with
alcohol and a soft lint free cloth. Be sure to wipe dry the bulb surface afterwards.
Reflector
The parabolic reflector developed by ColorLight has an extremely smooth surface
to focus the light in wide or narrow beam. Bare fingers should never touch the
reflector surface. If inadvertently touched, the reflector surface should immediately
be degreased with alcohol and a soft lint free cloth.
Light beam heat damage
This fixed light is built for use on long distances and the high-intensity light from
the fixture can, if set at a narrow beam, cause severe damage to surfaces closer
than 1 meter
If protection hood is used over the fixture the system main power switch in the
electric box should be off; this is a precaution to reduce the risk of fire if the hood
is not removed before turning the light on.
Cleaning
Never wash the fixture with water under high pressure because this can penetrate
through the seals and cause damage to mechanical and electrical components.
Do not use strong solvents such as thinner or acetone to clean the fixture or the
operator panel.
Deicing
Removal of ice should be done with caution. Physical violence could
damage the front glass. Instead turn on the light and let the heat melt the
ice.
Recycling and disposal
Bulbs used for models CL10 and CL15 contain mercury and must be recycled or
disposed according to applicable local and national regulations.

3. SWITCH ON LIGHT
The fixed light is equipped with either white or UV light. The light can be turned on by switching
the rocker switch (1) to position “1”.
Switch the rocker switch (1) to position” 0” to turn off the light.
4. FOCUS
Pressing the focus button (2) changes the focus for the fixture.
As long as a focus button is pressed the bulb moves in and out which changes the focus of the
light.
Release the button when the required focus is found.
