4. Setup

1. Assemble the Lamp Tripod: Extend the legs of the lamp tripod to a stable position. Adjust the height using the locking mechanisms. The tripod is adjustable from 71 cm to 182 cm.
2. Attach the LED Lamp: Mount the 60W Bi-Colour LED lamp onto the spigot connection at the top of the lamp tripod. Ensure it is securely fastened. The E27 lamp holder allows for easy installation of the LED bulb.
3. Assemble the Octagon Softbox: Open the octagon softbox. Insert the support rods into the designated slots on the LED lamp holder and the softbox fabric to form the octagonal shape.
4. Attach the Diffuser: Secure the white diffuser fabric to the front of the softbox using the hook-and-loop fasteners. This will soften and evenly spread the light.
