impact QL-3560-LED Quality LED Floodlight
Introduction
Thank you for choosing Impact.
The QL-3560-LED is the digital LED version of Impact’s popular Qualite. This
high-output fixture draws only 34 watts and operates on both AC and DC power.
It features a TIR LED panel that furnishes a focused and bright beam with a
long reach. The color temperature of 5600 K and a CRI of 97 deliver a natural-
looking daylight beam with high color rendering and accuracy.
The QL-3560-LED has stepless dimming from 0% to 100% and includes four-way barn doors for shaping the light and preventing light spill. Diffuser and orange filter discs are included to soften the beam and match the tungsten light you might be using on your set. The fixture is designed with an accessory bracket that accepts Impact’s speed ring, so you can add a softbox to your setup for light that’s perfect for portraits and headshots.

Using the Diffuser and Filter
The diffuser and orange filter can be used with or without the barn doors. Use
the diffuser to soften the light and cut down on harsh shadows. Use the orange
filter to emulate the warm light of a tungsten bulb with a color temperature
of approximately 3200 K.
Insert the filter or diffuser into the accessory slot. When using the diffuser
or filter with the barn doors, insert the disk in the accessory slot between
the light and the barn doors.
