Lamp Optimization
The lamp orientation and optimization must be adjusted after every lamp change. This
procedure centers the lamp in the reflector. Proper optimization will increase lamp life and
ensure a bright, crisp, and even output. Improper optimization may add a yellow tint to the
lamp output and reduce intensity. The minimum deviation amount is 1.0mm. Running the
fixture within a lower deviation can cause damage to the lamp and/or lens.
The Design Spot 575E™ lamp holder is aligned at the factory. However, due to slight
imperfections in all lamps, fine adjustments will improve light performance. Please follow the
procedure below for proper lamp optimization:
1. Using either a DMX controller or the control panel on the unit (see “SPOT” in the
fixture menu on page 33), strike the lamp and focus the light on a flat surface (beam
open, white, no gobo, no effect).
2. Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) using the 3 adjustment screws
labeled 1, 2, and 3 as illustrated on the next page. Turn one screw at a time to drag
the hot-spot diagonally across the projected image. If you cannot detect a hot-spot,
adjust the lamp until the light is even.
