Important Safety Information
The
IMPRESSION X4 L fixture from GLP is fitted with a number of plano-convex
lenses in a highly efficient collimator cluster. This type of lens can act as a strong
magnifying glass.
If the rays from a strong light source (such as the sun or another lighting fixture)
are directed towards the front of any of these fixtures, then internal damage may
occur. In a worst case scenario with a high power light source this can happen
very quickly, damaging the fixture internally, potentially melting components or
causing an internal fire within seconds.
In order to avoid these possible problems please adhere to the following
requirements:
 Do not expose the front of a fixture to direct sunlight or any other
strong light sources.
 For outdoor applications during daylight make sure that the front
face of any fixture is either shielded or points away from the sun,
even when fixtures are not in use.
 Do not modify the front glass or lenses of any fixture.
These requirements have to be followed regardless of whether a fixture is
powered on or off as the magnifying effect is an optical effect and therefore
independent from the (electrical) state of the fixture.
Especially when working with high powered
beam-lights; extreme caution and
observance of these safety instructions is mandatory.
