Accessories
You can use several half-meter optional accessories with ColorSource Linear
Pearl fixtures, including:
• Secondary lenses (horizontal, vertical, and round)
• Barn doors (7414K1020)
• Louver (7414K1019)
For information on installing secondary lenses, see
Installing secondary lenses
on page 17 .
Accessories for Linear 2 and Linear 4
For the Linear 2 and Linear 4 fixtures, order one accessory for each 0.5 meter
segment (cell) of the fixture. For example, for a Linear 2 fixture, order two
barn door accessory kits to fit the full length of the fixture.
Spacers for secondary lenses are included with the fixture. Use these spacers
to hold the accessories in position when multiple lenses are used in the
Linear 2 and Linear 4 fixtures. The spacers are positioned between the
0.5 meter lenses.
Contact your local dealer for more information.
Installation
Mounting
The ColorSource Linear Pearl ships with a pair of floor trunnions for
mounting.
You also have the option of using C-clamps with the trunnions to hang the
fixture. Attach the C-clamps to the holes in the trunnion feet (see figure on
page 5 ).
The ColorSource Linear 1 has two additional mounting options. Contact your
local dealer for more information.
• Yoke with C-clamp (7414K1017)
• Double yoke with C-clamp for mounting two fixtures (7414K1018)
Note:
Ensure that the trunnions are installed with the feet
inward so that fixtures can be lined up end-to-end, if
needed.
