Routine Maintenance

Introduction

Being a solid-state fixture, and unlike most automated arc or tungsten fixtures, the VLX™ Wash
Luminaire requires very little routine maintenance by the user. This section covers all the parts or
assemblies that can be removed, cleaned, and checked by the user. Any additional maintenance or
service should only be completed by an Authorized VARI❋LITE

Special Cleaning and Care Instructions

The VLX™ Wash Luminaire requires special care when it comes to cleaning front lens assembly.
Note: Additional care needs to be taken with the plastic components because they are much easier to
scratch or damage than glass.
The following is a list of cleaning materials required to care for your VLX™ Wash Luminaire:
• Lint free lens tissue
• Lint free cotton swabs (for hard-to-reach spot cleaning)
• Lint or powder free gloves
• Reagent grade isopropyl alcohol
• A mild soap solution.
Reagent grade isopropyl alcohol is good to use on the VLX™ Wash Luminaire plastic optics with
anti-reflection coatings.
If the lens is still dirty after using isopropyl alcohol, for instance if fingerprints or oil is just
redistributed and not cleaned off the optic, then a mild soap and water solution can be used to gently
wash the lens. Repeat the cleaning with isopropyl alcohol to eliminate streaks and soap residue.
WARNING: Under no circumstances should ammonia-based cleaners, acetone, or other harsh
solvents be used on or near the VLX™ Wash Luminaire. These types of cleaners or solvents can
permanently damage the optics or housings of the fixture.
If you have any questions regarding the use or care of your VLX™ Wash Luminaire, please contact
Vari-Lite technical support at 1.877-VARI-LITE or +1.214.647.7880.
