should only be used indoors and connected to an alternating current of max. 230 VAC~50 Hz.
• Lighting effects are not designed for permanent operation: regular operation breaks will prolong their
lives.
• Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.

Specifications"), dust and moisture. Respect a minimum distance of 0.5 m between the device's light
output and any illuminated surface.

Install the device 0.5m away from a smoke machine output nozzle.

• Use an appropriate safety cable to fix the device (e.g. VDLSC7 or VDLSC8).

unqualified people. Any damage that may occur will most probably be due to unprofessional use of the
device.
