Reflector Fitting - Lastolite lumen 8 User Manual

Reflector Fitting

Reflectors and other accessories (such as
Soft Boxes) can be fitted to the unit by
way of the three Reflector Bayonet Slots.
When fitting any accessories, do not
allow anything to touch the flash-tube.
The glass flash-tube can be damaged or
broken if it comes into contact with any
accessory.
It is preferable to fit the modelling lamp
after fitting the accessory, if it is
possible.
Line up the reflector bayonets over the
slots, as shown. If an umbrella reflector
is also going to be used, orientate the
reflector so that the oblong reflector slot
is at the bottom of the unit.
Engage the reflector bayonets and turn
the reflector until it stops. For security of
fitting, slide back the Reflector Release
Button and turn the reflector further.
At this point, the oblong reflector slot should be in line with the unit's umbrella clamp; if an umbrella is
going to be used, the umbrella shaft should pass through the reflector and into the slot of the umbrella
clamp. Note: When inserting the umbrella shaft, do not allow it to touch the flash-tube; damage to the
tube may occur. Always clamp the shaft into place using the Umbrella Clamp Screw (do not over-tighten
this screw; distortion damage to the shaft may occur).
To release the reflector, first remove the modelling lamp, if fitted. Turn the reflector anti-clockwise and,
at the same time, slide back the Reflector Release Button.

If a Protector Cap is fitted, it must be removed before the unit is
switched on. Remove the cap by turning it anti-clockwise until the
cap bayonets can be lifted out of the reflector bayonet slots (the
Reflector Release Button may have to be slid back).
NEVER OPERATE THE LAMP OR THE FLASH WHILE THE
PROTECTOR CAP IS FITTED.
Damage to the unit could occur if the cap melts due to the heat from
the flash-tube or lamp.
Replace the Protector Cap when the unit is not in use.
