Lighting Kit
Prior to using your lighting kit, please read these instruc-
tions carefully. Keep them safe to have them at hand at any
time. If you pass the lighting kit on to somebody else, al-
ways include these instructions.
1. Intended use
The "studiolight E70 Kit" lighting kit is intended to be used
for lighting subject shots, portraits, video and film shots. It
is not intended for household lighting.
2. Safety instructions
Please observe the following safety instructions and use
the lighting kit only as intended to avoid damages and inju-
ries.
Avoid improper use of the lighting kit, e.g. with wrong vol-
tages or in connection with equipment not specifically de -
sig ned for this lighting kit. Use only suitable lamps (see be-
low). If these precautions are not observed, the lighting kit
may be damaged and in extreme cases the lamp may
burst.
Make sure that the lights are not covered during operation
and keep them away at least 0.5 m (20 in.) from heat-sen-
sitive materials.
Avoid touching the lamps during operation. Let them cool
down after use.
Prior to changing a lamp, disconnect the light from the
mains and let it cool down.
The lighting kit may only be serviced by qualified persons.
Do not expose the mains cable to excessive physical
strain.
3. Scope of supply
The kit comprises two lighting units, each consisting of
- soft box with lamp socket and swivel joint
- daylight photoflood
- front diffuser
- light stand
and comes in a padded carrying case with shoulder strap.
The following instructions apply to one lighting unit. Please
proceed accordingly with the second lighting unit.
4. Set-up
Do not connect the soft box with lamp socket to the mains
yet!
Setting up the light stand: See fig. A – D. Loosen the re-
spective locking screw (1, 3 or 4) for adjustments and tigh-
ten them again. Maximum stability is achieved when the
bars (2) are aligned parallel to the ground.
Attaching the soft box (fig E): Attach the soft box to the
stand and tighten the screw (5). Position the soft box abo-
ve one of the stand legs to ensure a safe stand.
You may also attach the swivel joint when rotated by 90°
(fig. E1).
Opening up the soft box (fig. F): Push the ring (6) towards
the socket until it locks around the socket.
Inserting the lamp: See fig. G. Caution! Only use com-
pact fluorescents (energy saving lamps) up to 200 watt with
max. 31 cm (12.2 in.) overall length. Do not use incan-
descent lamps!
The front diffuser (heat-resistant fabric covering) (7) is used
to achieve a softer illumination. You may use the soft box
with or without the front diffuser.
Mounting the front diffuser (fig. H): Pull the front diffu-
ser's corners across the soft box corners and connect dif-
fuser and soft box with the Velcro fasteners (8) midway of
each side.
5. Putting into operation
Make sure that the mains voltage corresponds to the ope-
rating voltage given on the type plate of the soft box. Then
connect the light to the mains.
The soft box is switched on/off with switch (10).
The light can be used for unlimited continuous operation.
6. Tilting the soft box (fig. I)
Loosen the blocking screw (9) and adjust the soft box in the
desired position. While doing this hold the soft box in the
middle of the lower or upper edge. Tighten the locking
screw (9) again.
7. Adjusting the height of the stand (fig. D)
You may adjust the height of the stand after releasing the
locking screws (3) or (4). Hold the moving section of the
stand, in order that the soft box can not move downwards
due to its own weight and the lamp may be damaged.
Tighten the respective locking screws again.
8. Folding the soft box together (fig. K)
Disconnect the light form the mains, let the lamp cool do-
wn, take off the front diffuser (7) unscrew the lamp from the
socket and pull the ring (6) away from the socket.
9. Changing the lamp
Disconnect the light form the mains, let the lamp cool
down, take off the front diffuser (7) and replace the lamp by
a new one. Caution! Only use compact fluorescents (ener-
gy saving lamps) up to 200 watt with max. 31 cm (12.2 in.)
overall length. Do not use incandescent lamps!
