Follow these steps to set up your Lume Cube Broadcast Lighting Kit:

  1. Attach the Light to a Mount: The Panel Go LED Light can be attached to either the adjustable desktop stand with laptop clip mount or the 30" adjustable telescoping stand. Screw the light securely onto the mounting point.
  2. Positioning for Laptop Use: If using the laptop clip mount, attach it to the top of your laptop screen. Ensure the light is facing you.
