4. Operating Instructions

4.1 LED Light Operation

The integrated LED lights provide bright, consistent illumination for your subjects.

Power On/Off: Use the power button on the inline controller to turn the LED lights on or off.
Brightness Adjustment: The light features a dimming function with a range of 1% to 100%. Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the controller to adjust the brightness to your desired level. There are 10 distinct brightness gears.
The LED lights have a color temperature of 5500K and a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of ≥95, ensuring accurate color representation.

Comparison of CRI values and LED light dimming range — Figure 4.1: Illustration of LED light quality and dimming capability.

4.2 Backdrop Usage

The kit includes 6 double-sided backdrops, offering 12 different color options to suit various photography needs.

Select the desired color backdrop (e.g., white, black, red, pink, yellow, orange, blue, purple, green, brown, gold, gray).
Carefully slide the chosen backdrop into the light box, ensuring it sits flat against the rear wall and curves smoothly onto the base for a seamless background.

Examples of different colored backdrops for product photography — Figure 4.2: Various backdrop colors available for different photography scenes.

4.3 Multi-angle Shooting

The light box is designed to accommodate various shooting angles for optimal product presentation.

Front Window: Use the front opening for horizontal shooting, ideal for capturing the main view of your product.
Top Hole: Utilize the top circular opening for 90-degree vertical or overhead shooting, perfect for flat lays or capturing product details from above.

4.4 Using the Light Diffuser

The included diffuser cloth helps to soften the light and reduce harsh reflections, especially useful for reflective objects like jewelry or transparent items.

Attach the diffuser cloth inside the light box, typically below the LED light panel, using the provided fasteners (e.g., Velcro).
The diffuser spreads the light more evenly, minimizing hot spots and the visibility of individual LED beads in reflections.

5. Maintenance

Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down 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 storage. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Storage: When not in use, fold the light box into its compact form and store it in the provided carry bag to protect it from dust and damage.
Handling: Handle the LED light panel and wiring with care to prevent damage.

6. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
LED lights do not turn on.	No power supply. Loose connection. Faulty USB cable or power adapter.	Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged into a working power source. Check if the power adapter is functional. Try a different USB port or adapter. Verify the inline controller is switched on.
