Qualite LED Floodlight
INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for choosing Impact.
The QL-3560-LED is the digital LED version of Impact’s popular Qualite.
This high-output xture draws only 34 watts and operates on both AC and
DC power. It features a TIR LED panel that furnishes a focused and bright
beam with a long reach. The color temperature of 5600 K and a CRI of
97 deliver a natural-looking daylight beam with high color rendering and
accuracy.
The QL-3560-LED has stepless dimming from 0% to 100% and includes
four-way barndoors for shaping the light and preventing light spill. Diffuser
and orange lter discs are included to soften the beam and to match
tungsten light you might be using on your set. The xture is designed with
an accessory bracket that accepts Impact’s speed ring, so you can add a
softbox to your setup for light that’s perfect for portraits and headshots.
