Light Kit Set Up Tutorial

Overview

This Lighting tutorial will explain how to physically set up and put together the light kits provided in the IAM equipment cave. The basic assembly is fairly simple as well as very similar for each of the 3 separate kits available.

CAUTION: Lights of any sort will get VERY HOT very quickly. Make sure nothing is in contact with, or obstructing the path of lights. Also NEVER turn on an umbrella lamp while closed. If any flammable substances (plastic, paper, aerosol spray) come in contact with a bulb it will burn. NEVER set up the fluorescent lights vertically on the stands. This will also result in a fire hazard. When done with a light kit allow proper cool down time as previosuly stated, the lights get very hot. Disregarding any of these precautions can result in damage to the light kit as well as a fire hazard.
