LB-QL300 Luxbanx Duo Softbox INSTRUCTIONS 1
Introduction Thank you for choosing Impact. The Impact Luxbanx Duo LB-QL300 is designed to control and soften light for your specific photographic needs. Duo softboxes are compatible with continuous light sources (including quartz, tungsten, HMI and other “hot” lights, as well as LED or fluorescent lights) and flash (strobe) lighting sources. Hot lights with a maximum wattage of 300 can be used with this softbox.
Overview Box Contents • Softbox fabric shell • Four flex rods • Spare flex rod • Front diffuser • Carrying case • User manual Please follow these instructions carefully when assembling your LB-QL300 softbox. There are three parts to your Luxbanx: • The softbox fabric shell • Four flex rods • External front diffuser A speed ring (not included) is required in order to mount the Luxbanx softbox to a light. Speed rings are available separately.
Luxbanx Assembly Instructions 1. 4 Insert the small tip of a flex rod through the guide loop along the seam of the softbox fabric shell. Insert the tip into the anchoring pocket at the front end of the softbox. The large tip of the flex rod should be positioned at the rear of the softbox fabric shell. Repeat this step with the remaining flex rods. 2. With the speed ring’s reflector mount facing away from the softbox, insert the end of a flex rod into a rod hole in the speed ring.
Luxbanx Assembly Instructions 3. Insert the second flex rod in the softbox fabric shell into the hole in the speed ring that is directly opposite the first hole used. Flex the rod gently but firmly until it is securely seated in the speed ring. 4. Insert the third and fourth flex rods into the speed ring in the same manner. As each flex rod is inserted, flex it gently but firmly into position until each rod is securely seated in the speed ring.
Luxbanx Assembly Instructions 5. 6 Fold the flaps of the softbox shell over the speed ring, and press down on the touch fasteners to close the back of the softbox. 6. If you’re using a hot light (quartz, tungsten, HMI, etc.) make sure to open the four vents on the sides of the softbox.
Luxbanx Assembly Instructions 7. Attach the diffuser to the front of the softbox with the touch fastener. Make sure that the touch fastener is in contact with the softbox all the way around the perimeter, so that no direct light can escape. 8. With your light unit’s power switched off, mount the speed ring to the light unit (refer to your light’s user manual for attachment instructions).
Luxbanx Assembly Instructions Note: The first time you use your LB-QL300 softbox with a hot light, there may be a slight odor and a small amount of smoke. This is a result of manufacturing residue burning off, and it should last only a minute or two. An optional Luxbanx grid provides more control over the light of your softbox by producing a narrower beam of light than the softbox alone.
Luxbanx Disassembly Instructions 1. Turn off the power to your light head, and disconnect the power cord from the power supply. 4. Pull the flex rods out of the speed ring, using the same opposite rod pattern used in assembly. 2. Allow time for the light unit, flex rods, and speed ring to cool off before proceeding. 5. 3. Dismount the softbox assembly from the light head. You can leave the diffuser in place if you wish. The softbox will roll up for storage with its diffuser in place.
