cord through the
strain-relief ring

Mounted on a baby stand
Mounted to pipe grid.
A 180 degree turn is all that is required to
loosen the mount for orientation.
To adjust the tension on the lock lever,
pull handle away from mount. This
disengages the handle from the screw
mechanism and allows the lever to be
reoriented. You can also use a
screwdriver to adjust the tension. Pull
back on handle and adjust screw.

VERTICAL MODE:
Follow the principle of lamp
base up and lamp tip down.
This orientation keeps the
mercury away from the
cathodes and provides best
color temperature stability and
best color rendering.
DO NOT operate fixtures with
lamp base in the down
position. Color can diverge up
to 400K and will get very
green.
HORIZONTAL MODE:
Even in the horizontal position
a slight rotation favoring the
lamp tips ( lamp base higher
than the lamp tip ) will allow for
better color temperature
stability.
Warning! To Ensure Proper Operation
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE FIXTURE
BEFORE connecting or disconnecting
lamps. After the lamps are properly
installed, the in-line switch can turn on the
Ballast. Avoid operating in temperatures
above 125°F (51°C) or below 60°F (15°C).

In temperatures below 60°F (15°C) the ballast may take longer to strike. I
f
lamp does not strike within 5 seconds, switch the ballast to OFF, and try
again. Check that the lamps are properly seated, set dimmer to Full and
restrike. If temperatures are too low, try to warm up the fixture to at least
60°F. Lamps will turn on at preset dimmer settings as long as the
temperature is above 60°F (15°C).
MANUAL DIMMING CONTROL
The Dimmer should be full up when
striking the lamp. Once the lamps
have come up to full temperature, in
about 3-5 minutes, then dim to the
desired light level.
For full light output, turn dimmer fully
clock wise.
An input jack for an optional Remote
Dimmer is located next to the power
co
r
d
.
The Diva-Lite 400 Lamp Select
Switch was added in February
2005 and allows for 4 lamp or 2
lamp operation.
Turning off 2 lamps equals a
one-stop reduction in light
output without color shift. In the
4 Lamp position all lamps are
on. In the 2 Lamp position only
the two center lamps are on.
Note: This feature is not
available for the Diva-Lite 200.

Dimming and Color Temperature Shift
Dimming can be used to adjust the light output of the Fixture. The color
temperature will shift marginally if kept to within one F stop. Dimming
beyond one F stop may result in a reduction of color temperature as well
as a noticeable shift to magenta.
The Diva-Lite Dimmer is designed to remotely dim Diva-Lite 400 and Diva-
Lite 200 Fixture models, which have the REMOTE DIM feature. A 15ft
Dimming Cable is supplied with the Dimmer.
Note: No batteries are required to operate the Dimmer. The power for the
Dimmer is drawn from the Fixture.
Insert the Dimmer Cable
into the receptacle marked:
REMOTE DIM.
Inserting the Dimmer Cable
will automatically disable
the onboard Dimmer.
Insert the other end of the
Dimmer Cable into the
Diva-Lite Remote Dimmer.

LAMPS FAIL TO LIGHT:
• Check ambient temperature. If below 60 degrees F, the unit might
have trouble starting.
• With the power switch in the ON position, the red light should be on. If
it is not, Voltage is not present. Check your power feed.
• The onboard dimmer should be full up. (Turned completely clockwise.)
• Check lamp contact. Lamps must be properly seated. If one lamp is
not making contact or is burned out, two lamps will be off.
• Replace lamp or lamps.
• After having checked that lamps are correctly seated, turn off power to
the fixture for 60 seconds and restart.
• Check that the lamp selector switch is in the appropriate setting.
