2 - Safety Precautions
The following instructions must be adhered to, in order to ensure a safe working environment
and the safety of the user.
Note: When unpacking or manoeuvring the searchlight into its fixing position, suitable
lifting points must be used in order to prevent damage to the equipment or personal
injury.
◼The high luminance of the LED can cause severe damage to the eye if viewed directly.
ALWAYS wear suitable protective goggles when viewing the LED;
◼Searchlights get hot. Never touch the unit when lit and always allow 15 to 20 minutes for
cooling down after turning the searchlight off;
◼Never place anything on or cover the searchlight when in use;
◼Ensure the LED has cooled sufficiently before removal;
◼Due to the vast range of LED modules available it may appear possible that more powerful
LED’s can be used in the equipment than for which it was designed. Even when the unit
will physically accept a higher wattage LED, this substitution is not recommended and is
dangerous. This action will also void any warranties on the equipment.
