The Elation KL Fresnel 6 CW is a professional LED lighting fixture. Before operation, ensure the unit is properly grounded and installed by qualified personnel. The fixture is designed for indoor, dry locations only. During initial operation, a light smoke or smell may occur; this is normal as excess paint burns off from the casing.
Safety Guidelines
- Protection Class 1: The fixture must be properly grounded.
- No User Serviceable Parts: Do not attempt repairs yourself, as this voids the warranty.
- Heat Warning: Never touch the fixture housing during operation. Allow 15 minutes to cool before servicing.
- Environment: Use in indoor, dry locations only. Keep flammable materials away.
- Ventilation: Do not block air ventilation slots. Maintain at least 6 inches (15cm) of clearance.
- Eye Safety: Never look directly into the light source.
Installation
The fixture must be installed following all local, national, and country commercial electrical and construction codes. When rigging in a suspended environment, always use a secondary safety cable.




Gel Frame and Barn Door Installation
- Lift the lock on top of the fixture.
- Insert the Gel Frame into the first (smaller) slot.
- Insert the Barn Door into the second (larger) slot.
- Lower the lock to secure both accessories.
- Attach the included mini safety cable to the Barn Door and the top lock.
Rigging
Use an M10 screw fitted through one of the three holes on the yoke bracket to secure a professional-grade rigging clamp. Always use the designated rigging point for the safety cable; never secure it to a carrying handle.
