Instructions:
Set up the included light stands in your kit by using the tightening knobs found on the base and
telescoping pole of your stand. Loosen the tightening knob(s) and raise each telescoping pole to your
desired height and then ensure all knobs are securely tightened.
Next, locate the tilter bracket of your light head and ensure the locking knob is entirely backed out. Put
the tilter bracket on the stud of your light stand and, with the locking knob, secure in place. You should
only see a small silver ring at the base of the tilter bracket. If you see the silver stud or the light does
not feel secure make sure the locking knob is all the way backed out from the tilter bracket and re
attach to the stud of the light stand.
(To remove the protective cap placed on your light head locate the silver release tab on the top of the
light head and pull towards the back of the light head while turning the cap to release.)
The last step in this process is to attach the umbrellas. To attach the umbrella start by locating the
umbrella receptacle on the top portion of the tilter bracket directly below the base of the light. Open
your umbrella fully and slide your umbrella shaft through the umbrella receptacle so your bulbs are
facing the inside of the umbrella.
The 3rd light attached to the included 3’ Backlight Stand will not have an umbrella.
To start using your lights locate the power cords provided in your kit. There will be one power cord for
each light in your kit. Attach the power cord to the back of light head.

sync cord while taking pictures as each light has built in slaves.
