WARNING: Light Beam Projects Intense Heat. Do not illuminate objects within 4.0 m (13.2 feet) of
the VL3015LT Spot Luminaire. Objects within this range can scorch, melt, or ignite from the heat

nearby surfaces illuminated by the beam. It is hazardous to operate luminaires without lens or shield.

extent that their effectiveness is impaired. For example, by cracks, deep scratches, or coating
breakdown.

195ºC (383ºF). Do not touch any surface of the luminaire while it is operating. Keep all combustible
materials a minimum of 200 mm (8 inches) away from the luminaire. To maintain cooling fan
operation after the lamp is doused, keep the luminaire powered on for 5 minutes. Wait an additional 5
minutes before touching the luminaire.
