INSTRUCTIONS
To mount the standard Halo™ light modifier onto your light, open the hook and loop tape opening and
partially open the frame. Place the light inside of the opening of the Halo™ and insert the umbrella
shaft through the light’s umbrella receptacle. Position the light anywhere along the umbrella shaft to
create different lighting effects (see next paragraph for examples). Tighten the setscrew against the
shaft. Do not over tighten! This could damage the umbrella shaft. After the Halo™ is securely in
place, carefully stretch the black back section over the end of the umbrella shaft. Over stretching may
cause damage to the fabric or frame. Secure the light modifier by putting the tip of the umbrella shaft
into the metal cup. Close the lower hook and loop tape opening around the light stand.
Directional lighting examples: For direct diffusion, position the light facing
the white diffuser panel. The light will have a bright center with a softer
edge. The distance the light is to the diffuser panel will govern the
brightness of the center of the light. Caution: Do not over tighten!
Overtightening may cause damage to the umbrella shaft. See the first part of
the above paragraph to explain placement of the light along the umbrella
shaft for direct diffusion of light.
Position the elastic collar on the back of the Halo™ Mono around the front
portion of he mono light. With the mono light standard reflector in place, the
flash tube and reflector should be inside the Halo™ and the controls should
be outside. Finish mounting the Halo™ Mono by closing the hook and loop
tape opening creating a snug fit.
