Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the control unit and the power outlet. Verify the power outlet is functional. Check if the fuse in the power adapter needs replacement (refer to manual).

Color temperature or brightness inconsistent

Allow the light to stabilize for a few minutes after turning it on. If the issue persists, try resetting the light settings via the control unit menu. Ensure the firmware is up to date if applicable.

Control unit unresponsive

Disconnect the power supply from the control unit, wait for 30 seconds, and reconnect it to perform a power cycle. Ensure the cable connecting the panel to the control unit is firmly attached.

Overheating warning displayed

Ensure the ventilation ports on the control unit are not blocked. Operate the light in an environment with adequate airflow. Allow the unit to cool down if it has been running at full power for an extended period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  3. Attach the light panel to the control unit via the provided cable.

Compatibility:

The light panel uses standard Bowens mount modifiers, offering broad compatibility with a wide range of accessories like softboxes, beauty dishes, and snoots. It requires AC power for operation.

Care:

  • Store the light in a protective case or its original packaging when not in use to prevent damage.
