Routine Maintenance
To ensure optimum performance of your Desire series fixture, you should perform the
following inspections and cleaning at least once a year. You may need to inspect or clean
the fixture more often, depending on the type and amount of use your fixture experiences
during the year.
 A can of compressed air or oil-free air from an air compressor set at a low setting can
be used to blow through the vent holes and remove dust or other debris from the
interior of the fixture. Dust buildup can cause overheating and premature shutdown.
 Remove the secondary lenses (if used) and clean out any dust and debris. All
components, including the secondary lenses, can be cleaned using compressed,
oil-free air as described above or a clean micro-fiber cloth. The use of any liquid
cleaning solution is not recommended for Desire fixtures.
 Inspect all mounting hardware for wear and, if necessary, clean using compressed,
oil-free air or a soft, lint-free cloth.
C A U T I O N : Allow fixture to cool down completely prior to
cleaning.
Disconnect all power and DMX cables prior
to cleaning.
Check for excessive dust or debris in the
heat-dissipating fins around the entire fixture
enclosure. Clean using compressed air or a
soft cloth. Keeping the components of the
enclosure clean facilitates efficient cooling
and extends LED longevity.
NEVER spray liquids into the fixture.
NEVER spray compressed air into a fixture that is powered-up.
