Photogenic Professional Lighting PM800R Squeeze levers to mount reflector in locked position

To set up the lighting system, first mount and secure all light heads to suitable stands. The stand adapter allows the light head 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.

The light heads are shipped with the modeling lamp and flashtube not installed. While installing the modeling lamp and flashtube (with glove or clean cloth to protect the hand) be certain they are properly inserted and tight to avoid arcing and failure of the socket contacts during operation. Do not touch the glass tubes with bare hands, as normal body oils will shorten the bulb’s life. Always use a clean cloth or wear gloves to protect your hand from glass breakage and heat.

The 7 ½ inch reflector is attached to the PA8 by the “quick-change” mechanism. Three tabs on the unit grip the ring on the reflector. Finger levers located on the top of the unit control two of these tabs. To mount the reflector, squeeze the finger levers towards each other and tilt the reflector past the stationary top-tab, then past the two tabs that are controlled with the levers. Release the finger levers and make sure all three tabs are securing the reflector (see illustration below.) All accessory reflectors and soft boxes are designed for use with this “quick-change” system or onto this 7-½ inch reflector
