3. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble your PULUZ Mini Photo Studio Light Box:
- Expand the Studio Tent: Carefully unfold the main body of the light box until it lays flat, revealing the pre-creased sections.

- Fold Bottom Crease: Fold the bottom crease to create the base of the studio.
- Fold Top Crease: Fold the top crease to form the roof of the studio.
- Connect Snap Buckles: Connect the product's snap buckles to their corresponding positions to secure the structure. Ensure all connections are firm for stability.
- Installation Complete: The basic structure of your photo studio is now assembled.
- Insert Backdrop: Choose one of the six colored backdrops provided. Align the backdrop with the hooks inside the studio and secure it in place.
- Connect Power: Connect the USB cable from the LED panels to a 5V, 1A USB power source (e.g., a USB wall adapter, power bank, or laptop USB port). Note: Do not use USB power output voltage more than 5V, such as Quick Charge, as this may cause the LED light to fail.
4. Operating Instructions
Once assembled and powered, your PULUZ Mini Photo Studio Light Box is ready for use. Here’s how to operate it:
- Placement: Place the item you wish to photograph inside the light box. Ensure it is centered and positioned appropriately on the chosen backdrop.
- Lighting: The integrated LED panels will provide bright, even illumination. If your model includes a dimmer switch on the USB cable, use it to adjust the brightness to your desired level.
- Shooting Angles: The light box is designed for multi-angle shooting:
- Front Opening: Use the main front opening for standard eye-level or slightly elevated shots.
- Top Hole: For overhead shots, open the circular flap on the top of the studio tent and position your camera directly above the item. This is ideal for flat lays or capturing top-down details.
- Backdrop Selection: Experiment with the six different colored backdrops (black, white, yellow, red, blue, green) to find the best contrast and aesthetic for your product.
