Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the light and a functioning AC outlet. Check if the power switch on the unit is in the 'on' position.

Inaccurate colors or poor light quality

Verify the CRI/TLCI settings are appropriate for your needs. Ensure the light is not being used with incompatible modifiers or that the color temperature is set correctly. Check for any dust or smudges on the lens.

Wireless control is not responding

Confirm that the Nanlink app is updated and Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone/tablet. For 2.4 GHz control, ensure the remote or transmitter is paired correctly with the light and within range. Check the battery level of the remote/transmitter.

Overheating warning or shutdown

Ensure the cooling vents on the fixture are clear of any obstructions. Allow the unit to cool down in a well-ventilated area. Avoid continuous use at maximum brightness in extremely hot environments if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The FS-300C features an integrated design, meaning the lamp, control unit, and power supply are combined. To set up, simply connect the included 14.7' power cable to an AC outlet and the light fixture. The yoke allows for tilting and mounting onto a standard light stand. Attaching modifiers is straightforward thanks to the standard Bowens mount.

Compatibility: The FS-300C is compatible with any light modifiers that utilize the Bowens mount. This includes a vast array of softboxes, umbrellas, fresnel lenses, and beauty dishes. For wireless control, the fixture supports Bluetooth for the Nanlink app and can be controlled via 2.4 GHz using Nanlite's separately available WS-RC-C2 remote or WS-TB-1 transmitter.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the LED lens clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning the exterior of the fixture. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the cooling vents are unobstructed to prevent overheating.
