- Attach to LED Light: Securely attach the softbox to your compatible LED light panel using the integrated Velcro strips. Ensure a snug fit to prevent light leakage.
- Install Soft Light Cloth: Place the soft light cloth inside the softbox and attach it using its Velcro fasteners. This diffuses the light for a softer output.

Operating Instructions
The AMBITFUL LED Video Light Softbox enhances your lighting setup in several ways:
- Soft & Flat Lighting: This square softbox is compatible with AMBITFUL P60C and P35R LED video light panels. It is ideal for creating soft, even illumination for portraits, product photography, beauty shoots, weddings, and video content.
- Controlled Light Spill: With the honeycomb grid attached, the beam angle is approximately 45°, providing more directional light. The softbox's blackout fabric effectively seals the light panel, preventing unwanted light leakage and ensuring precise light control.
- Enhanced Diffusion: The softbox features a grid pattern reflective fabric that ensures light is evenly diffused. The honeycomb grid further refines the light, allowing for dramatic effects in various photography styles.

Troubleshooting
- Softbox not attaching securely: Ensure all Velcro strips are clean and properly aligned with the corresponding fasteners on your LED panel. Press firmly along all edges to create a secure connection.
- Excessive light spill: Verify that the honeycomb grid is correctly installed and fully covers the front opening of the softbox. Ensure the blackout fabric of the softbox is properly extended and sealed around the light panel.
- Light output too harsh: Confirm that the soft light cloth is installed inside the softbox. If it is, consider adjusting the power output of your LED light panel to a lower setting.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the softbox and its components, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the fabric or reflective surfaces.
- Storage: When not in use, fold the softbox and store it in the provided carrying bag. This protects the material from dust, dirt, and potential damage, extending its lifespan.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the Velcro fasteners and fabric for any signs of wear or damage. Address any issues promptly to maintain optimal performance.
