Especially with IP65 fixtures, you want to make sure to follow a regular schedule of external lens maintenance.
Two weeks is the recommended cleaning interval, subject to adjustment depending on the realities of where it’s being used.
Ideally, a quick clean would be performed every time gear comes back from an event.
Lack of cleaning will lead to reduced light output, and in some cases increase internal heat build-up during operation.
The Do’s and Dont’s of Lens Cleaning:
• Do NOT apply cleaning solution directly to the lens
• Do NOT clean while fixture is hot from use or cold from transportation
• Do wipe the lens with a soft microfiber type towel moistened with cleaner
Following a regular lens cleaning regimen will improve output and efficiency while reducing accumulated heat inside your fixtures.
