How to Clean Light Fixtures
Intelligent lighting fixtures are crucial components in modern church production setups, requiring regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. From automated fixtures to conventional lights, understanding the ins and outs of proper care can significantly enhance your worship experience and live-streamed services.
Cleaning Intelligent Fixtures
Intelligent fixtures like the BMFL from Robe share common components across brands, making maintenance techniques widely applicable.
- Start with accessible filters, removing and cleaning them with a brush or compressed air
- Check and clean internal components, including fans and lenses
- Inspect and adjust gobos, ensuring they're properly seated
Lamp Maintenance and Replacement
Proper lamp care is essential for maintaining light quality and longevity.
- Regularly inspect lamps for clarity and alignment of internal components
- When replacing lamps, handle with care to avoid oil transfer from skin
- Clean new lamps with provided alcohol wipes before installation
Conventional Fixture Care
Conventional fixtures like Lekos require different but equally important maintenance.
- Clean lenses and reflectors using a circular motion from the center outward
- Check and adjust lamp positioning for optimal beam quality
- Inspect shutter blades for functionality and sharpness
Regular maintenance of your lighting fixtures not only improves the visual quality of your services but also extends the life of your equipment. By incorporating these practices into your routine, you'll ensure that your church's lighting setup continues to enhance your worship experience, whether in-person or through live-streamed services.
