Installation
Emergency Lighting Considerations
Luminaires that are used in emergency lighting applications must provide a
minimum illumination level over the identified means of egress path in
accordance with the Life Safety Code®, NFPA 101. A luminaire that is intended
to serve this purpose must be mounted at a height where it will not readily be
subjected to tampering by unauthorized personnel and where the minimum
required illumination level over the egress path can be achieved. The ETC
DMX Emergency Bypass Controller that is driving the luminaire upon loss of
utility power must be programmed to drive the ColorSource Spot Pearl to full
illumination.
Install a Shutter Barrel
Small screw (included
with shutter barrel)
Light
engine
The ColorSource Spot Pearl can be
purchased with or without a shutter
barrel. To install a shutter barrel you
will need a #2 Phillips screwdriver
(not provided).
The ColorSource light engine
includes a barrel screw. The small
screw used to secure the top of the
shutter barrel is included with the
shutter barrel.
1. Align the barrel to the front of the ColorSource Spot Pearl and rotate it
one quarter turn counter-clockwise.
2. Insert the shutter barrel into the front of the light engine and rotate
clockwise until it is fully threaded onto the light engine.
3. Insert the barrel screw at the bottom of the light engine and tighten.
4. Insert the small screw into the top of the light engine and tighten
using the Phillips screwdriver.

fixture. Attachment loops are on the rear of the fixture. Take care to leave as
little slack as possible in the safety cable to avoid catching the yoke of the
fixture.
