4000+ to 6400 lumens - fan low
over 6400 lumens - fan high
charging - fan low

OPERATING THE CLx WITH
SOFTBOXES

When using 3rd-Party modifers that cover
the heat sink, trapped heat can cause
the light to lower it’s output. To prevent
overheating, open the modifier vents or
dial back to a lower lumen output.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

• Maintain o-rings with a light coating of silicone grease to preserve seal.

• Clean charge terminals with rubber pencil eraser or cotton-tipped or foam-tip

swab with vinegar/water solution.

STORAGE & TRAVEL

• Never store the lights with the batteries fully discharged as this may cause

permanent damage to the batteries.

• Store your light partially to fully charged for long life.

• Do not leave lights in direct sun or stored in hot location.

• Turn power switch off for travel.

• Always operate the CLx with a DM modifier installed to protect the LED from dust

and moisture.

OPERATING FROM EXTERNAL POWER

Power Supply

Light will operate best on external power if internal battery is charged
60% or more. If the light is run off wall power with an empty battery,
the extra heat generated while charging may reduce the output.

* The light will run at full power off external external source as long as
1- the battery is charged to 60% or more

2- power supply minimum 110Watt
