Lamp Changes
To change a lamp, remove any front
accessories, if attached. Remove the
screws attaching the metal endplates A.
*Note that the light-tube sockets are installed
on alternating ends of the fixture. To remove a
tube, gently grasp it by its glass end and
swing it slightly out from the fixture while
pulling it carefully from the socket.
Note: Take care when lifting lamps away from
the spring loaded retaining clips in the center
of the tube end of the lamp.
Replace lamps in same way, opposite order.
Be very careful as lamp-tubes are fragile and
can easily shatter. Read lamp mfr’s Warnings.
Lamps & Lamp Changes
e-studio fixtures come with a
user-replaceable mini fuse which
is installed in a small holder on the
same plate as the exterior AC power
socket. Access the fuse by removing
the cap with a small flathead
screwdriver. Swap fuse if necessary
and replace holder.
See the Technical Specs chart below to find
the correct fuse rating for the e-studio model
& voltage that you are using.

Technical Specs Repairs & Info
The following Accessories
can be attached to the
front of the fixture,
by opening the rotating
lock A sliding the
accessory into the top
& bottom slots on the
fixture face, and closing
the rotating lock.
Only one accessory
can be used at a time.
Intensifier
The mirrored Intensifier, when attached, can
almost double the light output of the fixture.
Assemble before attaching to light by placing
2 adjoining sides together at a right angle
& tightening screws. When both halves are
assembled, join them together and tighten
screws. Slide assembled intensifier into front
slot on fixture, close safety locks.
Note: Intensifier has grooved slot on front for
attachment of Honeycomb Grid to trim light.
Choose correct size of Honeycomb Grid.
Barndoors
For trimming spill of the light, slide
Barndoor assembly into slot on fixture,
and secure locks. Open doors and adjust
for proper trimming of spill. Do not operate
unit with Barndoors closed.
Egg Crates
for controlling spill. Slide the Egg Crate into
the front accessory slot. Less control than
Honeycomb Grid, with less output loss.
Honeycomb Grid
Each fixture has 2 options for using
honeycomb grids to control the spill of
the light, either placing the grid on the front
of the fixture, or attaching it to the front
of the Intensifier. It is not possible to use
the “front of fixture” grid with the Intensifier.
The grids are available in black with 20, 30,
or 40 degree dispersion. Honeycomb Grids
cause some loss of light output (see chart).
Note: e-studio fixtures have installed
Gel Clips. For using colored or diffusion gels
in front of the fixture. Attach pre-cut gel
material to the 4 spring clips on the corners
of the front reflector plate
