[Removal is accomplished by first lifting the lamp base to release pins from contacts.]
The flash tubes are polarized. Their base has two large pins and two small pins. It will only insert one way. Place end of flash tube into spring support, then insert base pins into socket. Please insert carefully to avoid damage or injury.
With all lamps and flash tubes securely installed, replace diffusion panel (it doesn’t really matter which side is in or out.) Panel may catch on lip of frame. If required, turn unit on face to insert panel. Replace “L” bracket and thumbscrews.
To set up the unit, first mount and secure it on a suitable stand. The Skylighter stand adapter allows the unit to be mounted on a stand with a 3/8” to 5/8” post. Be sure to use a stand that is stable and will not tip easily.
With power switch OFF, attach the cable to the circular input connector, located on the back of the Skylighter, and connect the other end to the purchased PowerLight power supply. See PowerLight instructions for installation and operation. PowerLight modeling light controls must be set to FULL ON for Skylighter fluorescent modeling lamps to function. Only then turn on the Skylighter power switch. THE FLUORESCENT MODELING LAMPS ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE. ANY ADJUSTMENT BY THE POWERLIGHT MODELING WILL DAMAGE THE SKYLIGHTER INTERNAL BALLAST (S).
