- Powering the Light:
- AC Power: Connect the multi-voltage AC power adapter to the DC input port on the light fixture. Plug the other end into a suitable power outlet.
- Battery Power: For portable operation, insert two compatible NP-F type batteries (sold separately) into the dual battery plates on the rear of the light fixture. Ensure correct polarity.
