Philips Selecon is recalling about 5,500 four-leaf and eight-leaf barndoors used on Rama Fresnel and Rama PC stage lights. The heat generated by the stage lights can cause the plastic collar on the barndoors to fail, allowing the heavy metal flaps to detach and fall from the light fixture. These products were sold nationwide through theatrical and lighting supply dealers from January 2003 through January 2013. Consumers should stop using the affected barndoors and contact the manufacturer for a free safety cable kit.
The heat from high-intensity stage lighting can cause the barndoor's plastic mounting collar to degrade or fail. This allows the metal assembly to fall onto people below, posing a serious impact injury hazard. Three incidents of these barndoors detaching have been reported outside the United States.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled barndoors and contact Philips Selecon for a free safety cable and installation instructions.
Recalled four-leaf barndoors.
