How It Works
Setting Up Your Skylight
-
Choose a flat level surface to set up the Skylight.
Unscrew the lid on your carrying case and remove the light.
WARNING – Tip Hazard. Ensure the Skylight is properly secured. Avoid using in windy conditions. -
Lift the LED light petals. Detach the cable clip from the cable and rotate the hook to release it.
(Note: As the light is extended, the cord will be pulled through the pole). See illustration. -
Grip the light with one hand directly above the handle and press the button on the handle with your other hand and pull down until it locks into place. See illustration.
-
Adjust each individual tripod leg
a. Open the lever, extend the leg to desired height
b. Close the lever -
Secure the light with the U shaped stakes attached to the bottom of the tripod legs.
a. Remove the stakes from the legs by pulling away and then up. See illustration.
b. Insert the stakes into holes in the foot of the tripod legs at an angle. See illustration.
-
Adjust the light panels to your preferred angle.
-
Adjust the height of the light
a. Open the top lever on the pole and extend to desired height, then close the lever to secure at that height. See illustration.
b. Continue to the next lever and extend the height as needed. As you extend the light, the cord will pull through.
Use caution when adjusting the height. The Skylight may collapse quickly if not secured when the levers are released. -
Plug the Skylight into the 6mm port on your Goal Zero Yeti power station (or a 12V aux port in your car using the adapter included with your light).
WARNING – Ensure that all cords are properly secured to avoid becoming a trip hazard. -
Use the wired remote to turn the light on. Press and hold the button to power it on. Then press the button to cycle through brightness settings.
NOTE : For additional stability, you can attach a heavy stable object or your Yeti power station to the hook at the center of the tripod. See illustration.
WARNING – Keep away from children. Do not allow children to interact with moving parts, especially any levers or hinges.
Powering the Skylight
Plug the 6mm charging cable into one of the 12V 6mm ports on your Yeti to
power your Skylight. This will also charge the internal battery. You can also
use the included 10A car charging cable/adapter to power/charge from a vehicle
or any 12V vehicle auxiliary power port (including a Yeti).
NOTE : The highest brightness level (Boost) requires external power (Yeti
power station, vehicle, etc.)
