Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the BL-50. The BL-50 is the pioneering product that started the magic of the company. This unique product creates an enormous "universe of stars" that will "wow" you! It is designed for both commercial and home owner applications. Watch thousands of moving pinpoints of green or blue light dance in pattern on a soft blue nebula cloud. It's truly amazing to see such a compact projector produce such an enormous amount of light.
Each unit provides up to 50 x 50′ (15.2 x 15.2 m) of coverage. It has maximum electrical usage of 50 mW, which is more energy efficient than many LED landscape lights. The fixture housing is weather resistant metal for year-round indoor operation.
Safety Notice
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
This laser product is certified as a CLASS 3R laser product, and adheres to the requirements of the US Federal Laser Product Performance Standard (FLPPS) contained in the regulations in 21 CFR Subchapter J.
Avoid direct eye contact of CLASS 3R laser energy as it can be hazardous. For reference, the FLPPS requirements for demonstration laser products, like laser pointers, are limited to CLASS 3R levels of laser energy. This product uses diffractive optics to scatter the beam energy. This scattering effect causes the energy concentration to drop below the exposure limits for momentary or accidental viewing at a relatively short distance from the laser aperture. As with all bright light-sources, when you operate this device in unsupervised general public areas, it is recommended that up-close access to the light be restricted or prevented.
This laser display device incorporates a CLASS 3B laser system which, by itself, may be hazardous. However, this laser display device incorporates a protective housing and diffractive holographic optics in the machine design so that there is no exposure or human access to laser radiation during operation or maintenance above the CLASS 3R limits. Each individual laser beamlet's power is under 5 mW, which is less than a standard laser pointer.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES shall attempts be made to open the protective housing or operate the device if the aperture window is damaged.
All service to this laser display device requiring the protective housing to be opened and/or removed shall be performed by service personnel or their authorized agents. Opening the protective housing voids the warranty.
NO LASERS SHOULD BE POINTED INTO THE SKY WITHIN 10 NAUTICAL MILES (18.5 km) OF AN AIRPORT. IF YOU ARE LOCATED WITHIN THIS SPECIFIC PERIMETER, WE RECOMMEND THE LASERS BE POINTED DOWN AT THE GROUND SO NO STRAY BEAMS ARE PROJECTED INTO THE AIR. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL AIRPORT OR PROVINCIAL GUIDELINES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
Getting Started
Before You Begin
Immediately upon receiving the fixture, carefully unpack and check the carton contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that the fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box.
Parts List
- 1 x BL-50 Laser Fixture
- 1 x 6' UL/CUL Power Cord
Setting up the BL-50
Before operating your laser projector, please read the “Before you Begin” section and “Notice” section of this user guide. This product is a plug and play product and does not require assembly before operation. Simply plug in the supplied power transformer or power cord and position the power switch to "ON".
Operating the BL-50
Switch the power on to fill your environment with a “universe of stars”. Turn the brightness knob located at the back of the Blisslights to control the brightness of the “nebula” cloud. Be sure to not connect this product to a dimmer pack. If you are going to hang the product, it is recommended that, for safety purposes, your product is properly mounted using a suitable hanging clamp and safety cable.
Note: This product is designed for indoor use only.
Installation Tips
- Do not connect the light to a dimmer pack, as a dimmer accessory may damage the laser component.
- Use only the manufacturer-provided UL/CUL power supply.
- Limit the use of extension cords. If you need an extension cord, use only UL, CUL, or CSA approved 3rd party extension cords. When using outdoors, ONLY use extension cords that are weather resistant, such as waterproof cords.
- The darker the display area, the brighter your projection will appear. Try to avoid display areas with strong ambient light sources, such as commercial street lights or bright security flood lights.
- If you choose to mount the BL-50 for downlighting (e.g. from balcony railing, fence line, roof line, etc.), it is recommended that, for safety purposes, your lights are properly mounted using a suitable hanging clamp and safety cable.
