3.2 Inflation and Deflation

The GC12 can be used in two forms: inflated as a stick light or deflated as a flexible cloth light.

• To Inflate: Locate the multifunctional air nozzle. You can inflate the light manually by blowing into the nozzle or by using an electric pump. Inflate until the light forms a rigid 60cm stick.
• To Deflate: Press and hold the air nozzle to release the air. Once deflated, the light transforms into a flexible cloth, convenient for storage and alternative lighting setups.
