Operation
3.1 Inserting the bulb
In the basic luminaire package, the bulb is already inserted
into the luminaire.
Due to the very long service life of the bulb - over 700
hours on average – it is rarely necessary to change bulbs.
The small dimensions and the filigree structure of the bulb
require delicate handling when changing the bulb. First of
all, loosen the knurled screws (see Figure 1) which
connect the reflector housing to the electric housing. Pull
the electric housing away from the reflector housing by
removing it from over the centering pins.
➪
Only touch the bulb by its black plastic base.
Do not touch the quartz glass bulb or the feedback wire
of the bulb.
Remove the spent bulb. Please ensure that the marker
grooves (approx. 1mm wide, see Fig. 1) at the base of the
bulb are aligned with the socket when inserting the new
bulb. Only then is it possible to slide the bulb into the
socket without applying pressure.
➪
Do not use force! The warranty is not applicable in
cases where lamp pins are bent.
Carefully slip on the reflector housing over the centering
pins. Ensure that the bulb is guided through the middle of
reflector opening to avoid damaging the bulb. Refasten the
reflector housing and the electric housing with both of the
knurled screws.
