Setup Instructions

1. Assembling the Light Stands

Extend the legs of the light stand until they are fully spread and stable. Adjust the height of the stand by loosening the locking knobs on each section, extending the pole to the desired height, and then securely tightening the knobs. There are two 83" (210cm) stands and one 43.3" (110cm) stand for various lighting positions.

2. Attaching the E26 Bulb Socket

Mount the E26 bulb socket onto the top stud of the light stand. Ensure it is securely fastened. The socket features a 180-degree adjustable head for precise light direction and an on/off switch for convenient control.

3. Installing the LED Bulbs

Carefully screw one of the 24W LED bulbs into the E26 socket. These bulbs provide 2160 lumens and a 5700K color temperature, equivalent to a 200W incandescent bulb.

4. Attaching the Umbrellas

Insert the shaft of either a black or white umbrella into the designated hole on the bulb socket assembly. Adjust the umbrella's position to achieve the desired light reflection or diffusion.

  • Black Umbrellas (with silver interior): Ideal for bouncing and reflecting light, providing more directed and intense illumination.
  • White Translucent Umbrellas: Used to soften and evenly distribute the light source, creating a softer, more diffused light.

5. Cable Management

Use the included cable ties to secure the 11' (336cm) prolonged cables to the light stands. This helps maintain a tidy setup and prevents tripping hazards.

Operating Instructions

Once assembled, plug the power cables into a standard electrical outlet. Use the on/off switch located on each E26 bulb socket to control the light. Adjust the angle of the lamp holder and the position of the umbrella to achieve your desired lighting effect.

This kit is ideal for various photography and videography applications, including portraits, food photography, children's photography, fashion, and weddings.
