FIRST STEPS

CAUTION: Before first use please tear off the protective film from the LED surface (09)!

Charging the internal Li-Polymer battery
Before first use, please fully charge the built-in Li-Po battery. Connect the USB-C charging cable (12) with the USB-C „5V in“ charging socket (07) of the video light. While charging you will see the actual charging status on the LCD display (02):

After charging, remove the USB-C charging cable (12) from the video light and the USB charging source. When the battery is totally empty, the charging time by PC is about 2 ½ hours.
NOTE: If LED video light is not in use for a long period of time, we recommend charging the battery to about 60% to avoid deep-discharge of battery.

OPERATION

• Press On/Off/Menu button (03) for about 3 seconds in order to turn on the LED video light.

• Press On/Off/Menu button (03) shortly to switch from brightness to colour temperature and back. The arrow shows the selected menu point in the display (02):

• The button + (04) increases the brightness and the colour temperature.

• The button – (05) decreases the brightness and the colour temperature.

• Brightness is adjustable in 5% steps, while colour temperature is adjusted in 100° Kelvin steps.

• During operation, the display (02) shows the remaining battery power in h (hours) or m (minutes). The battery symbol shows the battery capacity graphically.

• Press On/Off/Menu button (03) for about 3 seconds in order to turn off the video light.

• CAUTION:

  • During operation, the housing and LEDs will warm up.
  • Turn off the device after usage by using On/Off/Menu button (03).
  • Let the device cool down completely, before placing it in the storage pouch.

POWERBANK FUNCTION

Plug the Mini USB charging adapter for external devices (13) into the Mini USB output socket “5V out” (06) to use the powerbank function. Now you are able to charge all your devices over USB (we recommend using the original USB cable of the respective devices/manufacturers).

NOTE:

• You may use the powerbank function without turning on the video light. Just plug in any USB device – no further action necessary
• It is possible to use video light at 100% power and charge an external device at the same time. This drains the battery empty more quickly.

MOUNTING

• 07.1 Mounting on a camera/camcorder with flash hot shoe
  Screw the universal flash hot shoe (14) into the ¼” connection thread (01) of the video light. Slide the universal flash hot shoe (14) into the hot shoe mount of your camera or your camcorder. Tighten the locking screw (14a).

• 07.2 Mounting/unmounting the diffusor plate
  The white diffuser plate (10) provides soft light and reduces harsh shadows. Slide the diffusor plate (10) from above until it is centred on the front panel of the video light. The holders of the diffusor plate (10a) must not cover the control buttons (03,04,05). Push the diffuser plate (10) upwards to remove it from LED front panel again.

• 07.3 Mounting/unmounting the honeycomb
  The honeycomb (11) directs the light and reduces stray light, while contrast and brilliance are intensified. The illumination becomes harder. The white diffuser plate (10) must be removed before the honeycomb (11) is installed. Slide the honeycomb (11) from above onto the video light. Slide it back down to remove it.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

Never use aggressive cleansing agents or benzine to clean the device. We recommend a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth to clean the outer parts of the device. Before cleaning make sure to switch off the device and take off from USB power supply! Store the device in a dust-free, dry and cool place. This device is not a toy – keep it out of reach of children. Keep away from pets.
