Often, after a new installation of a lamp, you will find that there is an uneven field of light or what is
referred to as a hot spot. This is due to the most intense point of the lamp source not being positioned
optimally within the reflector.
There are three lamp alignment screws provided at the base of the
projector head. Turning these screws allow you to optimize the
projection quality of the spot as well as the overall intensity of the
beam.
1. Project a white spot against any flat surface. Preferably the
surface should be white or pastel in color.
2. Turning the lamp alignment screws, try to position the hot spot
in the center of the beam as best as possible. This could require
many attempts on your part.
3. Once the hot spot is in the center of the spot, do your
best to turn all screws equally as to affect movement up
or down within the reflector.
4. As you move in and out of optimum lamp focus, you will see
the hot spot either gets wider or narrower. The goal is to either
totally diminish the hot spot by having it widen and spread
across the entire spot or moving the hot spot so that it covers
as much of the beam spot area as possible.
Power
Warning! Verify that the internal multi-tap transformer is set to match the line voltage applied
and that the proper fuse is installed for the appropriate voltage setting. All fixtures
must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.

To determine the power requirements for
a particular fixture, see the label affixed to
the back plate of the fixture or refer to the
fixture
’s specifications chart.

A fixture
’s listed
current rating is its
average current draw under normal
conditions.

All fixtures must be powered directly off a
switched circuit and cannot be run off a
rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer
circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer
channel is used solely for a 0% to 100%
switch.

Before applying power to a fixture, check
that the source voltage matches the
fixture
’s requirement.

All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.
