LB-QL300
Luxbanx Duo Softbox

INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Impact Luxbanx Duo LB-QL300 softbox. It’s
designed to control and soften light for your specific photographic needs.
Duo softboxes are compatible with continuous light sources (including
quartz, tungsten, HMI and other “hot” lights, as well as LED or fluorescent
lights) and flash (strobe) lighting sources. Hot lights with a maximum
wattage of 300 can be used with this softbox. Do not use any hot light
source with an energy output of more than 300 watts with this softbox.

This versatile softbox has a front surface of 16˝ × 22˝. A speed ring (not
included) is required to mount the softbox to a light. This softbox has a
front diffuser, which can be attached using touch fasteners. The diffuser
can be removed to produce more intense light with increased contrast. The
brightly textured silver interior finish produces a bright light with less light
loss than a white interior would.

Instructions

Box Contents

• Softbox fabric shell

• Four flex rods

• Front diffuser

• Carrying case

• User instruction manual

• One Year Limited Warranty

Please follow these instructions carefully when assembling your LB-QL300
softbox.

There are three parts to your Luxbanx:

• The softbox fabric shell

• Four flex rods

• External diffuser

A speed ring (not included) is required in order to mount the Luxbanx
softbox to a light. Speed rings are available separately.

Luxbanx Assembly Instructions

1. Insert the metal 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 other metal
tip is now at the rear of the
softbox shell. Repeat this step
with the remaining flex rods.

2. Insert the metal tip of one
of the flex rods into a hole
in your speed ring (not
included), positioning the
speed ring with the narrower
opening facing away from the
softbox.

3. Insert the next flex rod into
the speed ring in the hole
directly across from the first
one.

4. Insert the third and fourth flex
rods into the speed ring. As
each flex rod is inserted, bend
it firmly into position.

5. 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.

6. If you’re using a hot light
(quartz, tungsten, HMI, etc.),
make sure to open the four
vents on the sides of the
softbox.

7. Attach the diffuser to the front
of the softbox with the touch
fastener. Make sure that the
touch fastener is in contact
with the softbox all the way
around the perimeter, so that
no direct light can escape.

8. Attach the softbox speed ring
to your light unit. Make sure
the light is off when attaching
the softbox.

Luxbanx Assembly Instructions

Note: The first time you use your LB-QL300 softbox with a hot light, there
may be a slight odor and a small amount of smoke. This is a result of
manufacturing residue burning off, and it should only last for a minute
or two.

An optional Luxbanx grid provides
more control over the light of your
softbox by producing a narrower
beam of light than the softbox
alone.

If you’re using the optional Luxbanx
grid with the softbox, make sure to
install the front diffuser so that the
touch fastener is attached towards
the rear of the touch fastener strip
so that a large proportion of the

softbox touch fastener strip is
visible in front of the diffuser. This
will leave plenty of room to install
the grid in front of the front diffuser,
at the front edge of the softbox.

Luxbanx Disassembly Instructions

1. Turn off the power to your
light head and disconnect the
power cord from the power
supply.

2. If you’re using a hot light,
allow time for the unit and the
speed ring to cool off before
proceeding.

3. Unmount the softbox
assembly from the light head.

4. Pull the flex rods out of the
speed ring.

5. You can leave the diffuser in
place if you wish. The softbox
will roll up for storage with its
diffuser in place.
