Setting up a stand
- Stand orientation
- The stand is packed inside out inside its bag
- You will need to flip the legs out and around the joint in order to begin setting up the stand
- Create a wide base
- Widen the legs to provide a stable foundation for the light fixture
- Lock off each leg
- Extend the fixture support pole to desired height
- Lock off each segment when done
Setting up a stand (cont’d)
- Attach fixture to silver mounting head
- Note: the locking bolt on the fixture must screw into the valley of mounting head (between the end ridges)
- Do not tighten locking bolt unless it is in this position (see green arrow)
- Lock fixture to mounting head
- Note: the Dracast logo should be upside-down at this stage
Preparing the fixture
- Once the fixture is locked to the mounting head, rotate it so that the text on the front and back of the fixture is right-side-up
- Lock the two blue knobs on either side of the fixture when light is at desired angle/position
- Connect power supply
- Note: red light will indicate a working power adapter
Powering on the fixture
- Attach DC power supply to silver port on back of fixture
- Power the fixture on
- Note: flip the power switch down to use the DC power supply
- Adjust intensity and color temperature as desired (more on this in following slides)
Adjusting light intensity
- Turn dial labeled “INTENSITY” clockwise for brighter light
- Turn the dial counterclockwise for dimmer light
- 100% P for brightest light
- 10% P for dimmest light
- Note: the green light indicates which unit the meter is reading out (00K for color temp, % P for intensity)
- Note: dimmer light does NOT equal softer light
Adjusting color temperature
- Turn dial labeled “CCT” clockwise for more daylight balanced light
- Turn the dial counterclockwise for more tungsten balanced light
- 3200K for completely tungsten-balanced light
- 5600K for completely daylight-balanced light

Repacking the Dracast LED500 kit
- Please make sure to pack the light kit exactly how it was upon checkout (see photo)
