Systemlicht
Thank you for chosing a Hedler light unit and
your con dence in the Hedler light system.
Please, read the following technical
informations carefully before using the light unit.
Codes are given in <Brackets>.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The light unit HEDLER HF65 is designed for professional use, they are assembled by applying precision methods and tested individually for
function and quality. The HEDLER HF 65 is provided with an integrated U-bracket and a friction brake and a 5/8” Quick-Lock light stand
attachment. After loosening the hex key screws by app. 2 turns, the U-bracket can be moved back and forth in its keyway for gravity adjustment
and it is turnable for right and left hand use.
The HEDLER HF65 is designed for the use at a power supply of 110V - 230V. Please note: the bulb socket can be equipped with speci c bulbs
of maximum 650 Watts only.
230 Volt = 650 Watt / 150 hrs. / GY 9.5 / 230V code < 64717>. Besides that, it is possibile to equip the HF65 with the following bulbs of lower
continuous light output power: 500 Watts / 200 h. / GY 9.5 / order number 64674 or 300 Watts / 200 h. / GY 9.5 / order number 64673.
110 Volt = If the HEDLER HF65 is used at a 110V power supply, the Tungsten halogen bulb has to be interchanged with a Tungsten halogen bulb
that suits for 110V and a power of maximum 650 Watt. The HEDLER HF65 is equipped with a socket type: GY 9,5.
The HEDLER HF65 is particulary suited as a DV and AV lighting source, because it does not have any fan. This ensures an original sound recording
- for example while an interview or a video portrait - without disturbing noise caused by the light source.
While in operating mode the light unit will be very hot. ALWAYS use the integrated hand grip on the back of the light unit´s housing to adjust the
lighting angle. NEVER touch the housing of the HEDLER HF65 when it is in use, and ALWAYS let the HF65 cool down for at least 30 minutes
after use before taking it off the light stand or storing/packing it away.
On its front side, the aluminium housing holds the Fresnel lens with its protective grid. AdditionalIy there are the Uni-Adapt studs for attaching
re ectors and folding re ectors.
Interchangeable re ectors with bayonet ring can be attached in the following way: place the rim of the ring into the guide grooves of the upper
studs and the round opening over the cone-shaped bolt, and lock it by a turn to the left. To attach the rotatable 4-Leaf barndoor or a MaxiSoft
folding re ector, place the rim of the ring into the guide grooves of the upper studs, and then push the complete re ector towards the QuickFit´s
cone-shaped bolt until the ring locks in the bolt´s groove. Detach the re ector by lifting the QuickFit´s handle, moving the lower side of the
re ector away from the light unit´s housing, and then lifting the re ector´s ring out of the guide grooves of the upper studs.
On the opposite side of the housing, one will  nd the ergonomically incorporated handgrip, the cable and for visual function control illuminated
main switch. Additionally you will  nd on the backside of the housing the focusing turning knob, which allows to adjust precisely and intuitively
the size of the light beam from spot- to  oodlight setting

BULBS
To replace the bulb: please, make sure that the housing and the bulb of the HF65 has off before interchanging the bulb, otherwise there is a risk
of burning! Always disconnect the HF65 from the power supply before interchanging the bulb. Unscrew the socket screw of the cover plate
guard. The cover plate guard is located on the housings upper side, its socket screw is located at the ange which faces towards the housings
back. To unscrew the socket screw, use the socket wrench which was delivered with the HF65. After loosening the socket screw completely
remove the cover plate guard.
Turn the focusing knob until the HF65 has its maximum spot light position. Pull the defective bulb out of the socket, after doing so push the new
bulb carefully into the socket, observing instructions by the bulb manufacturer.
After pushing the bulb into its socket, replace the cover plate guard. Make sure that its lug is located correctly into the housings notch. Afterwards
install the socket screw into the hosuings thread and tighten it hand-tight. Please, before taking the HEDLER HF65 in operation, make sure that
the cover plate guard is mounted correctly!
FRESNEL LENS
To replace the Fresnel lens: please, make sure that the housing of the HF65 has cooled off before interchanging the Fresnel lens, otherwise there
is a risk of burning! Always disconnect the HF65 from the power supply before interchanging the Fresnel lens. Unscrew the four socket screws
of the housings front plate and remove the front plate with the Fresnel lens. Unscrew the securing screws of the Fresnel lens and replace the
defective one with an original Hedler Fresnel lens only. After replacing the Fresnel lens tighten its securing screws hand-tight. Attach the front
plate at the housing and tighten the front plates four securing screws. Please, before taking the HEDLER HF65 in operation, make sure that the
front plate is mounted correctly!

Safety instructions for Hedler light units and accessories
The following safety instructions are valid for Hedler light units and their accessory. Please, read these safety inst-
ructions completely before setting up a Hedler light unit and/or putting Hedler light unit(s) into operation. Please
contact Hedler Systemlicht GmbH, 65594 Runkel directly, if you do have a technical question concerning Hedler
light units and/or Hedler accessories. Please keep these safety instructions close in reach, if neccessary you can
download them from our website www.hedler.com as a PDF.
Hedler light unit(s), Hedler reectors, softboxes, reex umbrellas and/or Hedler accessories are designed for pro-
fessional studio or indoor use only. Never use Hedler light unit(s), Hedler reectors, softboxes, reex umbrellas
and/or Hedler accessories outdoors.
Setting up and putting into operation
To put Hedler light unit(s) into operation it/they have to be set up, mounted, placed, secured and monitored
appropriately.
• Always use a Hedler light unit in combination with a steady and secure standing light stand which has a loading
capacity that is adequate for the weight of the light unit plus cable plus accessory/accessories. Always work
within the light stand´s loading capacity, especially if you are using, or plan to use, large and/or heavy folding
reectors.
• Appropriate action(s) to secure light stand(s) are (for example):
• - mounting the light stand legs to the (stage) oor,
• - weight down the light stand legs with appropriate lled sand bags for example,
• - blockade the light stand area.
• Please note the permitted tilting of the Hedler light unit(s) of max. 45° upwards and max. 45° downwards.
• Set up a Hedler light unit - light stand combination on leveled oor only. Please make sure for tilt resistance
while setting up / taking down and while in operation. Please make sure for an antislip stand while setting up /
taking down and while in operation.
• For light unit(s) in operation the ambient temperature should not underrun -15°C (5°F) or exceed approx.
35°C (95°F).
• Acclimatisation: Avoid condensation problems because of high variations of temperature. If there are high
variations of temperature do not use the Hedler light unit(s).
• Use Hedler light unit(s) in hospital(s), museum(s), factory (factories) asf. with permission of the appropriate /
responsible public authority, administration, company management or business management only.

burning caused by overthrowing, slipping or other reason(s) because of uncontrolled/unwanted movements
of a light unit(s) while setting up / taking down and/or while in operation.
• Always use a double securing like a safety wire, if you mount a Hedler light unit overhead, which has a loading
capacity that it could be loaded with the weight of the mounted light unit incl. accessory multiplied by ve (for
example: (light unit 4.5 kg + reector 1.2 kg) * 5 = 28.5 kg - for this case the safety wire to use must have a
loading capacity of minimum 28.5 kg).
• Before putting a Hedler light unit into operation check all safety and/or positioning and/or light stand srews
for being screwed in securely and/or hand-tight.
• Always keep a minimum distance of 100 cm between the safety glass (or accessories) and any combustible
materials and/or any inammable liquids, gases or explosives when a Hedler light unit is in use.
• Never use a Hedler light unit near any inammable liquids, gases, materials or explosives that may be ignited
by heat or spark.
• If you light through glass surfaces, windows and decoration surfaces keep appropriate distances between the
light unit(s) and these materials, because these materials can burst if overheatet and shatter could be an risk
