Luxbanx Softbox INSTRUCTIONS 1
Introduction Thank you for choosing this Impact Luxbanx softbox. Luxbanx softboxes are designed to control and soften light for your specific photographic needs. This softbox is compatible with flash (strobe), fluorescent, and LED lighting sources. Do not use this softbox with “hot” lights such as quartz, tungsten, or HMI sources. Luxbanx softboxes come in three shapes: rectangular, strip (a long, narrow rectangle), and octagonal.
Instructions Please follow these instructions carefully when assembling your Luxbanx softbox. There are four parts to your Luxbanx: • The softbox fabric shell • Flex rods • Front diffuser • Removable internal baffle A speed ring (not included) is required to assemble the Luxbanx softbox and mount it to a light. Speed rings are available separately.
Luxbanx Assembly Instructions INSET: Heavy Duty Flex Rod 1. 4 Insert the small tip of a flex rod into the sleeve along the inner seam of the softbox shell. Slide the flex rod through the sleeve until the tip fits into the end of the sleeve in the front corner of the softbox. The large tip is now at the rear of the softbox shell. Repeat this step with the remaining flex rods. 2.
Luxbanx Assembly Instructions INSET: Strip Model 3. Insert the second flex rod in the softbox fabric shell into the hole in the speed ring that is directly opposite the first hole used. Flex the rod gently but firmly until it is securely seated in the speed ring. 4. Insert the third and fourth flex rods into the speed ring in the same manner. As each flex rod is inserted, flex it gently but firmly into position until each rod is securely seated in the speed ring.
Luxbanx Assembly Instructions 5. For octagonal softboxes, continue in the same manner, always working in opposite pairs. NOTE: The second pair of flex rods installed should be at a 90° orientation from the first pair so that a square framework is established. 6 6. Fold the flaps of the softbox shell over the speed ring and press down on the touch fasteners to close the back of the softbox.
Luxbanx Assembly Instructions 7. If you are using the internal baffle, attach it to the interior now, using the straps with snaps that are built into the softbox. 8. Attach the front diffuser to the front of the softbox using the touch fastener, making sure the diffuser is in contact with the softbox all the way around its perimeter so no direct light can escape. 9. With your light unit’s power off, mount the speed ring to the light unit according to its manufacturer’s instructions.
Luxbanx Assembly Instructions An optional Luxbanx grid provides more control over the light of your softbox by producing a narrower beam of light than the softbox alone. When using the optional Luxbanx Grid, be sure to install the softbox front diffuser at the rear edge of the softbox touch fastener strip. This will allow enough of the softbox touch fastener strip to be visible 8 so that there is room to install the Luxbanx grid at the front edge of the touch fastener strip.
Luxbanx Disassembly Instructions 1. Turn off the power to your light head and disconnect the power cord from the power supply. 4. Pull the flex rods out of the speed ring using the same opposite rod pattern used in assembly. 2. Allow time for the light unit, flex rods and speed ring to cool off before proceeding. 5. 3. Unmount the softbox assembly from the light head. You can leave the diffuser in place if you wish. The softbox will roll up for storage with its diffuser and inner baffle in place.
