Setup & Operation
Unpacking
Unpack the fixture and carefully inspect for any signs of physical damage. Report any damage to Wildfire or
your local distributor immediately. Included with each unit should be the following items:
1. Pipe mounting clamp, designed to attach the fixture to a 11/2” to 2” pipe truss
2. Safety Cable, provided to secure the fixture when mounted on a pipe truss
3. Wildfire IronArc™ Lamp, Model LMP-150S
Before mounting the fixture you will need to install the lamp. refer to Lamp Replacement on page 6 for correct
installation.
Installation
After installing the lamp place the fixture in desired location. The fixture is equipped with a yoke assembly for
mounting. The yoke may be fitted with either a pipe clamp (included) for mounting on a pipe truss or a baby bail
block or junior pin for mounting on a light stand.
If the fixture is mounted on a pipe truss, be sure to use the included safety cable, looping it through the yoke
assembly and around the pipe truss. This will prevent the fixture from falling and causing possible injury in the
event that the pipe clamp was not securely tightened.
To adjust the angle of the fixture, loosen the knobs on either side of the unit slightly, rotate to desired angle and
tighten. Care should be taken to support the front of the fixture while loosening the knobs to prevent the fixture
from rotating forward and causing possible injury.
The fixture comes standard with a 7.5” Bracket assembly for attaching dowsers and scrollers such as Wybron’s
Eclipse or Coloram Series, as well as barndoors and other accessories. When using accessories with this
fixture, be sure to attach the safety cable provided by the accessory manufacturer to the fixtures yoke assembly.
Plug the fixture into the appropriate power source. If you are controlling the unit with a lighting control board, you
will need to make sure it is plugged into a non-dim circuit. If the fixture is plugged into a dimmable circuit, it will
not operate.
Operation
To strike the fixture push the power/breaker switch to the on position. After striking the lamp allow at least 2
minutes for the lamp to get to full brightness. Once the fixture has been powered up and the lamp has ignited if
you shut it off you will need to wait approximately 5 minutes to allow the lamp to cool before the fixture can re-
strike.
If the power/breaker switch is left in the on position during the cool down period, the hot re-strike prevention
circuitry in the ballast will prevent the lamp from striking until it is completely cooled. Once it has cooled
sufficiently, it will strike automatically. This fixture is also equipped with automatic lamp failure protection circuitry
that shuts the fixture down if the lamp should fail for any reason, preventing any damage to the fixture. In
addition there is high temperature protection circuitry that shuts the fixture down if the ballast case temperature
exceeds 85° C. When the fixture cools it will strike again automatically.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Lamp Replacement
Unplug the fixture. Remove any accessories from the front. Make sure the fixture is cool to the touch before
opening the front lens assembly cover. Unhook the clasps on either side of the fixture allowing the front lens
assembly cover to swing down. Although the LT-150 Series is designed to allow you to replace the lamp while
the reflector is still in place the procedure is easier when the reflector is removed enabling full access to the
socket (See Interchanging Reflectors below). Grasp the lamp in the center and pull forward to remove it from the
socket. If the lamp is difficult to remove rocking it gently from side to side will help loosen it from the socket.
Reverse this procedure to install the new lamp. Care should be taken not to touch the new lamp directly. Use a
cloth or glove when handling. If you have touched the lamp, it must be cleaned with alcohol to remove any oils
and fingerprints prior to striking. For maximum UV-A output, always use Wildfire IronArc™ lamps, and change
the lamp in your fixture every 1000 hours.
Interchanging Reflectors
There are three different interchangeable reflectors available for the LT-150 Series, a 20° Spot (125-005-02),
50° Wide Spot (125-006-02) and 90° Flood (125-007-02). These reflectors are designed to be removed and
replaced while the lamp is still in the fixture. To remove the reflector, unplug the fixture and remove any
accessories from the front. Make sure the fixture is cool to the touch before opening the front lens assembly
cover. Unhook the clasps on either side of the fixture allowing the front lens assembly cover to swing down.
Loosen the four set screws securing the reflector to the brackets on either side of the lamp housing and slide the
reflector forward out of the housing. Reverse this procedure to install the new reflector. The reflector attachment
brackets are stamped with S, WS and F indicating the proper set position for each reflector.
Cleaning
For best performance, the reflector, lamp and filter lens should be kept free of dirt and dust. At no time should
any cleaning chemicals or abrasives be used to clean any part of the fixture. Do not spray or apply any liquid
directly to any part of the fixture. Always unplug the unit before cleaning. For normal cleaning, a dry soft cloth
should be used to wipe any surface free from dust and light dirt. Cleaning the reflector will require that the lamp
be removed. Remove the lamp by following the instructions listed under lamp replacement above. Once the
lamp has been removed, gently wipe off the reflector using a soft dry cloth. In the event the reflector is heavily
soiled, lightly dampen the cloth with a mild window cleaning agent and wipe clean. The filter lens can be cleaned
in the same manner. The lamp should be cleaned with alcohol only.
Troubleshooting
The fixture will not strike: – Check to make sure there is power to the fixture. Make sure the power/breaker
switch on the back of the fixture has not been tripped. Unplug the unit. Check to see if it has a lamp installed
and that it is seated properly in the socket (See Lamp Replacement above). Check to see if the safety cutoff
switch is making contact by closing the lens cover and listening for a clicking sound. If the fixture still is not
striking, try replacing the lamp. If you have checked all of the above and the fixture still won’t strike, contact
Wildfire technical support at [phone] or your local distributor.
The effect is not working anymore: – Try changing the lamp. The lamp in your Wildfire fixture is rated at 1000
hours. This does not necessarily mean that the lamp will “burn out” or not light after 1000 hours. It may continue
to burn for much longer period of time; however, the amount of UV it produces will be reduced considerably
causing the effect to appear as though it isn’t working. For maximum effect Wildfire recommends changing the
lamp every 1000 hours.
