3. Setup Instructions

The light box features a one-piece structure for quick and easy assembly without tools.

1. Unfold the Light Box: Lay the light box flat. It will expand into a cross shape.
2. Form the Cube: Bring the sides up and secure them using the hook-and-loop fasteners on each edge. Ensure all sides are firmly attached to form a stable cube.
3. Insert Backdrop: Choose one of the four colored backdrops (black, white, gray, or orange). Insert it into the light box, securing it with the integrated clips or slots to create a seamless background.
4. Attach Diffusion Cloth: For softer, more even lighting, attach the diffusion cloth to the inside top of the light box, covering the LED strip. This helps reduce harsh shadows and glare.
5. Connect Power: Connect the power adapter to the designated power port on the light box. Plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet.

4.3 Changing Backdrops

To change the background color, simply unclip the current backdrop and replace it with another from the included set (black, white, gray, orange). Ensure the new backdrop is smoothly positioned to avoid creases in your photos.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the light box. For the interior and backdrops, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring they are completely dry before folding or storing. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the light box back into its compact, portable form. Store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
• LED Care: The LED lights are integrated and do not require replacement. Avoid touching the LED strip directly when powered on.

  • Adjust the position of the product inside the light box.
  • Increase the brightness using the adjustment knob.
• Backdrops Not Lying Flat:
