The Blanket-Lite 6x6 consists of sixteen 6ft high output lamps
powered by four Mega Dmx 4Bank ballasts. Lamps are spaced along
two ratchet straps on 4 ½ inch centers. The Blanket-Lite mounts onto
a 6x6 pipe frame and works by itself or in conjunction with diffusion
materials, silver reflector (REF-6X6) or soft egg crate louver
(LVC-6X6 sold separately). No Tools required for assembly.

The Frame Assembly
(FRM-6X6) consists of:

4 Frame Corners
4 Frame Pipes
12 Frame Clip Pins
2 Frame Ears

No tools are required to assemble the frame. Depress pins on the
frame corners and twist until they mate with holes in the Frame Pipe.
Once attached to the Pipe, Frame Corners should all be facing the
same way.

between the two arrows found
midway on the pipe frame.

The Blanket-Lite should travel with lamps
preloaded.

1) It is recommended to mount
the frame between two stands.
Tilt the top edge of the frame
over the open shipping case.
Pull the Blanket-Lite straps
out of the box leaving the
Blanket-Lite in its case.

2) Line up Blanket-Lite straps
with the black Velcro on the
pipe frame. Line up the straps’
red line with the red arrow of
the tube. This ensures lamps
are evenly spaced out within
the pipe frame. Tighten loop
down to the pipe frame.

3) Tilt the frame up thereby lifting
the Blanket-Lite out from the
case.

4) Once the Blanket-Lite has
cleared the case, loop the straps
around the lower portion of the
pipe frame.

5) Hook the ratchet to the other
end of the strap.

6) Draw up any slack in
the strap and tighten by
drawing down the ratchet
lever until tight.

Use the Harness Velcro straps
to secure the harnesses to the
frame.

The Blanket-Lite consists of four wiring
harnesses that power sixteen, 6ft HO
lamps. You must follow the color-coding
to achieve light level control features
(discussed in Ballast section).
Note: The easiest way to mount lamps
is if the Blanket-Lite Ratchet straps have
already been attached to the Frame.
Velcro loops hold lamps to the straps.

Important!

The color-code on both ends of the lamp
must be the same, and both ends must be
securely connected BEFORE turning on
power.
Once the lamps have been loaded, they
can stay attached to the Blanket-Lite and
placed in the Shipping Case for storage
and shipping.
If a second color temperature lamp is
used regularly, it is recommended to have
an additional pre-globed Blanket-Lite
(BKT-6X6) and an additional shipping
case (KAS-6X6).

5

To give rigidity to the
Blanket-Lite insert 4 pins
through the pipe frame into
the two horizontal Blanket-Lite
harness tubes.

One end of the harness tubes
require the pins to be inserted
through the strain relief disc.

Insert the remaining 8 pins at
90 degrees to the frame.
These pins support additional
accessories.
