5.5 Using Light Diffusers

The included diffuser cloths help soften LED lights, reducing reflections and harsh shadows. This is particularly useful for highly reflective items. One diffuser features a hole, allowing for top-down shooting while still softening overhead lighting.

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the light box with a soft, dry cloth. For the interior and backdrops, use a slightly damp cloth if necessary, ensuring they are completely dry before storage. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the light box into its compact form and store it in the provided non-woven tote bag. Store backdrops flat to prevent creasing.
• LED Lights: The LED lights are designed for long-term use and do not require regular maintenance. If any issues arise, refer to the troubleshooting section or contact customer support.
