You have now properly installed the BG-34 or Teflon disc into the R-LS-1.
Using the Filter Slot on the R-LS-1
The 3 mm slot between the lamp and the fiber coupler can be used to hold filters or light blocks. You
can place a filter in the filter slot, but you must heed the following warnings:
 Filters must be 3 mm thick or less
 Filters should not be plastic, as they may melt from the intense heat generated by the lamp
 Filters should not be flammable materials, as they may ignite due to the intense lamp heat
 Filters cannot be clamped in place, as there is no filter locking mechanism built into the lamp
Maintaining the R-LS-1
Replacing the Bulb in the R-LS-1
Before you replace the bulb in the R-LS-1, you must first remove the R-LS-1 from the rack it is
installed in. See
Removing the R-LS-1 from a Rack before continuing.
► Procedure
Follow the steps below to replace the bulb in the R-LS-1:
1. Obtain the appropriate replacement bulb. The LS-1-B is a 900-hour bulb, and the LS-1-LL-B
is a 10,000-hour bulb.
2. Turn off the R-LS-1 and remove the power input from the rear of the lamp. Allow the lamp to
cool.
3. Make a note the location of the four Phillips screws on the bottom of the R-LS-1. You must
return these screws to this exact position when reconnecting the R-LS-1.
4. Loosen the four Phillips screws on the bottom of the R-LS-1. These screws hold the blue
anodized bulb housing in place on the R-LS-1 card.
5. Slide the R-LS-1 in place on the card until the recessed silver Allen screw is visible under the
blue anodized bulb housing on the bottom of the R-LS-1 card.
6. Use the Allen wrench included with the R-LS-1 to loosen the small silver screw. It is not
necessary to remove this screw completely.
