FreeStyle Fixture Assembly
FreeStyle Tube Assembly
The FreeStyle T44/T24 ixture
is comprised of a Louver,
Relector and Tube Harness.
The Louver and Relector
are held in place with Velcro
fasteners. The Tube Harness
is secured by means of a
¼ turn fastener.
The FreeStyle Relector has a unique
design to accommodate the aluminum
channel on the back of the FreeStyle
tube. It provides even light distribution
and maximizes light output. In addi-
tion, it acts as a heatsink and allows
the FreeStyle Tubes to run cooler.
The FreeStyle Tubes can operate outside
the ixture with just the harness. FreeStyle
Tube systems are available in 4ft and 2ft.

FreeStyle Harness
FreeStyle Harness:
Align arrows on harness connector with
tube. Push and click into place. To remove
harness connector, turn locking ring to the
left and pull.
Push tubes into the ixture’s tube holder
clips. The tubes can operate independent
of the ixture allowing them to be built
into sets or custom soft boxes or hand-
held as a single tube for an eye-light.
To Release the Tube Harness
Rotate the ¼ turn fastener clockwise to
release harness.
The harness connects directly to the
controller. Connect the harness to the
controller. Align the key ways on the
harness connector with the oval Logo at
the top with the circular receptacle on the
ballast. Rotate the silver locking ring until
it clicks into the lock position.

9
The FreeStyle LED ixture can operate
remotely from the controller with the
extension cable up to 50ft (2 x 25ft).
Remote operation of the controller provides
more rigging options.
To connect Harness to Extension Cable,
align oval Logos on the Harness and Exten-
sion. Rotate the silver locking ring until
it clicks into the locked position.
The FreeStyle Tubes can operate outside the ixture with just the harness.
For further versatility, a splitter (X12-A4) and FreeStyle Single extension cables
(X08-F125) (x4) (both sold separately) can be used to operate the tubes
remotely. FreeStyle Tube systems are available in 4ft and 2ft.
To connect Harness to Adapter Cable, align oval Logos on the Harness and
Adapter Cable. Rotate the silver locking ring until it clicks into the locked
position.

Mounting the Fixture
The standard mount (MTP-KG41) comes with a
3/8” Lollipop that clamps into a grip head. The ball
and socket mount allows the xture to be oriented in
a broad range of angles.
Align the center pin of the mounting plate to the
center hole on the mating plate.
Rotate plate clockwise until the four shoulder rivets
drop into the receptacle. A locking pin will snap into
place when the plate is properly seated.
The yellow wire loops provide attachment points for
a safety chain.
To remove the plate, pull up on the locking pin and
reverse the mounting procedure.
Lollipops are interchangeable.
