Operating Instructions

Adjusting Light Angle and Softness:

• The lamp holder is 210° adjustable, allowing you to direct the light precisely where needed. Loosen the fastening screw for tilt angle, adjust the softbox to your desired position, and then tighten the screw to secure it.
• The removable external diffuser provides flexibility in light softness. Use it for a softer, more diffused light, or remove it for a more direct and intense light output.
