Eye safety
● The impression X5 is classified as a Risk Group 2 lighting fixture according to EN
62471. Possibly hazardous radiation emitted. Do not stare into the light output
from the fixture. May be harmful to the eyes.
● Do not look at the fixture’s light output with optical instruments or any device
that may concentrate the light output.
● Make sure that persons near to or working on the fixture are not looking directly
into the light output when the fixture lights up suddenly. This can happen when
power is applied, when the fixture receives a DMX signal, or when certain control
menu items are selected.
● Provide well-lit conditions to reduce the pupil diameter of anyone working on or
near the fixture.
Strobe safety
● Flashing light, particularly at 5 - 30 Hz, may cause seizures in persons with
photosensitive epilepsy. Do not use strobe effects for extended periods.
● Comply with local regulations on the use of strobe lighting and notify the public
in advance with highly visible warning signs when strobe effects are used.
● If a seizure occurs, stop using strobe effects. Seek professional medical help. Note
the time that the seizure starts and finishes. Call emergency medical help
urgently if the seizure lasts more than five minutes, if it is the person’s first seizure,
or if the person is injured. While waiting for help to arrive, protect the affected
person from injuring themselves on hard or sharp objects. If necessary, move the
person to a safe place. Lay them on their side with their head supported to
prevent it from hitting the floor. Loosen any tight clothing around their neck. Do
not use force to hold the person or restrict their movements. Do not put anything
in their mouth, including your fingers.
Installation safety and protection from personal injury
● The fixture is heavy. Apply the tilt lock and carry the fixture by holding the yoke.
For more comfortable handling, install an optional GLP impression X5 Omega
Bracket with handles and use this to carry the fixture.
