Dual LiteRing and Adapters
Introduction
The Reflecmedia Dual LiteRing is designed to fit snugly around the camera lens to provide perfect
illumination of the Reflecmedia Chromatte™ background for chromakey production and is available
in 2 sizes (‘small’ and ‘medium’) to fit many different size camera & lens systems.
The Dual LiteRing features high performance surface mounted Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
arranged in a robust circular casing with a tuned diffusion to create extremely even illumination
without causing discomfort to the subject.
The Dual LiteRing is powered by the Reflecmedia Dual LiteRing Controller that allows the user to
switch between blue or green output. 256 steps of dimming control are available with last setting
memory for fast setup and instant switch over between colours.
Fitting the Dual LiteRing to the camera
The dual LiteRing is mounted onto the camera lens via a Reflec Media lens adapter ring. Various
sizes of ring are available to suit a wide variety of lens types and styles;
Step 1 - Measure The Lens Diameter& choose the correct adapter ring
The filter thread diameter is almost always indicated by a legend printed on the front of the lens
barrel, often indicated by the ø symbol followed by the diameter in millimeters.
eg; ø 72mm indicates a 72mm lens diameter – you require a 72mm adapter ring.

If there are no markings on the lens, then check the specifications page of the operating instructions
Filter thread diameter
Thumb screws
for your camera / lens or check the manufacturer’s website as the filter diameter is usually indicated
there.
Step 2 – Fit the adapter ring to the lens
Firstly, remove any fittings from your camera lens (hoods, lens caps etc) to reveal the filter thread.
Carefully screw the adapter onto the filter thread at the outer end of the camera’s lens.
Step 3 – Fit the Dual LiteRing
The Litering has 2 thumbscrews around the outer edge. Retract the screws from the mounting area
by turning anti-clockwise.
Take care not to completely unscrew the thumbscrews – you only need to unscrew them to make
them flush to the inside of the LiteRing and no further (If you do accidentally unscrew too far, gently
re-locate the screw into the LiteRing body and rotate clockwise to re-fit.)

Place the LiteRing over the adapter and gently tighten the 2 thumb screws. Tighten the 2 screws
evenly, half a turn of each screw at a time! CAUTION: It is possible to tighten only 1 screw fully
whilst the other is ‘loose’ – the LiteRing will NOT be properly mounted and may fall from the camera
lens causing injury or damage. Check that both screws protrude behing the adapter ring, once the
LiteRing is fastened to the lens it should be firm and secure.
Connecting the Dual LiteRing to the Dual LiteRing Controller
The LiteRing is fitted with a 3 pin XLR plug on the end of a flying lead. Insert this into the 3 pin XLR
socket on the LiteRing Controller side as shown, ensuring that the plug is latched to prevent
accidental removal.
Always connect the LiteRing to the LiteRing Controller before connecting power or switching the
controller on.
For instructions on how to use the LiteRing Controller, please see its relevant user guide.
Once connected, always stow any excess cable neatly.
If the 3 pin XLR plug or socket is damaged, return the unit to your Reflec Media dealer for repair.
