Warnings:
1.ALWAYS remove the protective cover before using your light.
2.ALWAYS press the accessory lock button on the top of the light when removing accessories such as the standard
reflector, barn doors or optional zoom lens. Failure to do so may damage your light.
3.During use, avoid dirt or debris from contacting the surface of the COB LED to prevent damage to your light.
4.Do not block the heat dissipation vents on light body. Blocking these will inhibit airflow, causing the unit to overheat
