This guide provides information about how to use the product functions to illuminate with this equipment as well as warnings on his use. The 4LIGHT is a product of professional use for interior locations or studio and must be operated only by qualified technical personnel.
The lamp head is equipped with high power LEDs. Due to their high light- output intensity don’t stare directly into the light source. The V-lock mount or the XLR4 receptacle can be used for powering the 4LIGHT by battery. Relevant information on Battery use Use only original chargers.

4. PLACING INTO OPERATION 1. Quick link swivel ball head mounting Align the swivel ball head plate to the four rivets located at the back of the lamp head as shown in the picture. On mounting the lamp head on any type of support, tripod or ceiling Warning grid make sure the swivel ball head handle is facing down towards the ground.
2. Connect a battery on the V-lock mount Either the V-lock mount or the XLR4 receptacle can be used for powering the 4LIGHT by battery. Any battery form 9 to 36 V can be used. Relevant information on Battery use Use only original chargers.
You can place the VDC Control Unit in the stand mast for a handy use close to the lamp head. To do so you will need to use a regular Super Clamp (not included in the 4LIGHT kit) and insert the Hexagonal 5/8”...
5. DIGITAL ADJUSTMENTS The VDC Control Unit doubles as power supply and digital remote controller of the following light parameters through its programmed CPU: Calibrated Colour Temperature variation • Stable colour dimming • Green/magenta bias control • Turning the Power On/Off Turn on the equipment by switching the power button towards the I position.
When this switch is not in the standard position a green LED light turns on in the VDC Control Unit to warn that the light emitted no longer guarantees the correct chromaticity. THELIGHT guarantees the correct colorimetry for light emitting from their high power LED light fixtures, calibrated in the laboratory according to current international NOTE: standards of the CIE 13.3-1995 for the average CRI and the chromatic co-ordinates (x, y...
After the DMX address is entered the Control Unit will automatically assign the following two channels. If you wish to control several THELIGHT fixtures at the same values you will have to set them to the same address. If you wish to control several THELIGHT fixtures independently you will have to offset their address by 3 channels.
7. MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS Beam angle variation Hold the lamp head from the outer segments and bend it in or out to the wanted concave or convex shape. Choose the light beam angle you need and the lamp head will remain at the chosen setting. When the lamp head is positioned at standard flat setting the light beam angle is 35º.
Quick link diffuser installation To assemble the diffuser insert the four magnets in their respective holes to set- up a diffusion box as shown in the picture. Position the lamp head in its standard flat setting. Align the top diffuser box magnets with their respective screws located on the lamp head.
30º to 65º (standard 35º) LED RATED LIFE more than 50.000 hours THELIGHT LED TECHNOLOGY UME (Minimum Emitting Unit) made up of: 3 high-power LED with a selected BIN + Fresnel lens + CPU control with THELIGHT software...
CHROMATITY COORDINATES DIAGRAM (x, y CIE-1931) Shown on the diagram are the THELIGHT lamp head chromaticity coordinates (x, y CIE-1931) feed and digitally controlled by its Control Unit and they are compared with the reference illuminants. These reference illuminants are the Planckian locus radiator set below 5000K and the CIE daylight reference is set over 5000K.
