1. Power Input
Connect the power adapter, to the Power Input port (7), located at the back of your LED100B MKIII. Please
pay attention to orientation of the bayonet on the power connector. You should hear a “click” which indicates
that your power adapter is securely connected to your LED100B MKIII unit. Once connected, plug your power
adapter into the mains power socket, and switch on the power switch (6). LCD display (4) should then light-up to
indicate that the unit is ready for use.
The LED100B MKIII supports 24V battery power supply. The battery power output port needs to be converted to
an XLR-4 port.
If only a single V-lock series battery (such as the PiXAPRO BP130) is used to supply the power, the battery volt-
age is DC14.8V. At this moment the light output power decrease to 70% of normal voltage.
There is a battery indicator on the LCD screen has power display,
when the battery level is insufficient, the battery indicator will drop.
If battery display shows one grid, it means that need to charge the
battery. If continue to use it, the light will automatically switch off when
the battery power used up.
Note: If don’t use our light power adapter, or adapter is not match to
the light requirement, it will lead some conditions happen such as the
light flicker, no brightness or weak brightness. Please turn off power in
time in case damage the light or adapter.

1. Power/Colour Tempterature Adjustment
To control the Power output, rotate power dial (5) clockwise, the power will increase in increments of10%. if you
rotate the power dial in an anti-clockwise direction, power decrease in 10% increments for quick adjustments.
For more precise power adjustments, press power dial (5) in once, and the percentage on the display should
blink. Rotate the dial in a clockwise direction, and the power increase by increments of 1% for every click; Rotate
the dial in an anti-clockwise direction, and the power decrease by increments of 1% for every click;
The Power range goes from 0-100%. 100% represents full power status, and 0% represents off power status.
To control the Colour-Temperature, rotate the Colour-Temperature dial (1) cloackwise, and the Colour-Temper-
tature will increase up to 5600K (Daylight Balanced. If you rotate the colour-temperature dial anti-clockwise, it
decrease down to 3200K (Tungsten Balanced).
3. Memory Function
The parameter storage/recall buttons (2), from left to right, are M1, M2, M3, and M4. Press and hold for two
seconds to store parameter settings and short press to recall storage parameters. For example, if you want to
store certain power settings, press and hold the key M3 for 2 seconds. The “M3” appears in the lower right
corner of the LCD display, e.g. the current power and colour temperature parameters are stored. When the pa-
rameters are changed, if you need to use the previously stored power settings again, simply press the M3 key to
restore the original parameters.
4. Light ID and Group Settings (For Optional Remote Control)
Insert the optional PiXAPRO 2.4GHz remote control receiver into the USB receiver socket (3) located at the
back of the LED100B MKIII unit. Together with the optional PiXAPRO
2.4GHz radio remote, you can wirelessly and remotely control the
power of your LED100B MKIII light
Simply insert the remote control receiver into the USB receiver port
(3) and turn on the main power switch (6). The red indicator light on
the remote receiver should flashes, indicating that the communication
connection is normal. At the same time, the LCD screen automatically switches to the interface shown in the figure
to the right. Set the remote transmitter to the same Light ID Number as set on the LED head, and you should now
be ale to remotely control the light.
Light ID number setting: After pressing and holding the power dial (5) for two seconds, the “G0” icon on the LCD
screen starts flashing. Now use the power dial (5) to set your groups on the flash ( G0-G9); Press the power dial
(5) again and the “L0” “ icon on the LCD screen should start blinking. Now use the power dial (5) to set your
light-number on the flash ( L0-L9). Once you are happy with your settings, press the power dial (5) in again to

confirm and save your settings. You can also leave your adjustments for about 2 seconds to automatically save.
The LED100B MKIII can be set to a total of 100 Light numbers.
5. Overheat Protection
The LED100B MKIII features a built-in temperature controller and an ultra-quiet cooling fan (<18dB), strictly to
regulate the temperature of the LED100B MKIII body. Since the LED100B MKIII uses the rear-conduction heat
dissipation method, the heat from the LED chip is channelled directly to the LED100B MKIII’s housing where the
heat is dissipated.
If the temperature of the shooting environment is too high, the LED100B MKIII’s body temperature will increase. If
it rises above about 58°C, the output power will be automatically reduced by 50% to protect the LED chip from
overheating and sustaining permanent damage. If the temperature of the LED100B MKIII continues to increase,
the LED chip will automatically switch-off until the unit cools back down to a safe working temperature. After
restarting, the LED100B MKIII everything should go back to normal.
Optional Accessories
Optional accessories for the PiXAPRO LED100B MKIII include:
2.4GHx Wireless Remote control, 2.4GHz Wireless remote control receiver dongle, V-Lock battery plate,
S-Type fitting softboxes, reflectors, barn door sets etc. (Sold Separately).
