SECTION 1 SAFETY PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USE. This leaflet contains important safety information. 1.1 Low voltage DC input only. Do not connect to incorrect supplies (see Specifications). 1.2 Avoid the possibility of water ingress. This could cause the lamp to rupture forcibly. 1.3 The Paglight is not intended for any use other than video lighting purposes. 1.4 Do not disassemble the Paglight or any of the lamp holder units. There are no user-serviceable parts.
envelope you must clean it carefully with methylated spirit or industrial alcohol, using a lint free cloth. 1.10 The LED Dimmer Unit is designed for use only in conjunction with the 12V Broadcast Paglight. NEVER attempt to run the unit away from its enclosure. IMPORTANT: Never stare directly into the emitters when lit. For optimum performance never leave the soft acrylic domed lens, situated at the end of the silver aluminium heat sink, unprotected and exposed to dust.

SECTION 3 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE 3.1 HALOGEN LAMP HOLDERS: There are three halogen lamp holder units Standard, Softstart and PowerMax Control/VariLux. They utilise 12V halogen lamps, available in 5 wattages: 20W, 35W, 50W, 75W and 100W. Halogen lamp holders can be exchanged instantly without the need to handle the bulb.
also possible for the camera low-voltage cutout to be triggered as a result of the voltage depression caused by the unnecessarily heavy load on the battery. For these situations we recommend the use of the PowerMax Control/VariLux lamp holder, which incorporates a voltage control circuit. The PowerMax unit efficiently regulates the running voltage of the Paglight while conserving the unused battery power, thereby extending available run-time by as much as 25%.
converted to match halogen using LED Conversion Filter Model 9998. 3.4 PLUGGING A LAMP HOLDER UNIT INTO THE PAGLIGHT: IMPORTANT: First turn-off the Paglight. To avoid the risk of damage when inserting any lamp holder into the lamp body, ensure that the lamp is correctly aligned through both reflectors. Gently engage the unit into the body of the Paglight. When it is fully home the securing latch will lock.
3.7 CHANGING POWERARC LAMPS: IMPORTANT: See the instructions supplied with the arc lamp or PowerArc Unit before fitting. Remove the quartz arc lamp from the packaging without touching the quartz envelope itself. The arc lamp is a push fit into the lamp holder. Carefully holding the arc lamp by its base flange and without touching the quartz envelope, align the indexing slot of the flange with that of the PowerArc lamp holder.
Do not operate the light in the vicinity of highly combustible materials, especially explosive heavy vapours. Never leave the light turned on while unattended. Do not obstruct the airflow through the cooling vents. 3.9 THE PAGLIGHT HOT-SHOE POWER BASE: The Paglight Power Base incorporates a swivelling facility with a captive locking mechanism. Use the 1/4" Whit. stud or Camera Shoe Plate to fit the Power Base directly to the camera.
conversion filters and a frosted diffuser. The ring will accommodate any four accessories, available either as a complete kit, or individually. Accessories are a snap-fit onto the ring, and may be assembled in any permutation. To adjust the position of the accessory ring, slacken the screw, rotate the ring to the desired position, and re-tighten the screw. To remove the ring, unscrew the screw completely, and expand the ring over the front rim of the light.
