SP2 CONTINUOUS LIGHT KIT
Congratulations on purchasing the best solution for photo studio lighting on a budget.
This kit is perfect for beginners and professionals alike for taking those studio quality
portraits without the photo studio cost.
The Square Perfect 2000 Watt Photography and Digital Video Continuous Lighting Kit
comes with a carrying case, 2 light stands, 2 softboxes, 2 light heads, and ten 45 watt
5000k compact fluorescent daylight balanced photo bulbs. This product is used in the
studio to provide any form of lighting above the subject.
The high-output daylight balanced compact fluorescent bulbs are ideally suited for
digital photography and the daylight color eliminates the need for color correction.
They also have very low heat so they don't get hot like the more common photo bulb
choices.
Continuous lighting uses a constant light source to light your subject, meaning that
your lights will stay on during the entirety of your photo shoot. Continuous lighting is
recommended for beginners. Strobe lighting uses a flash of light at the moment your
camera shutter opens to illuminate your subject. Many professionals use this type of
lighting because it offers more control of the light.

SP2 CONTINUOUS LIGHT KIT SETUP
1. First, open the case and remove all of the components. Then
remove the components from their boxes and bags. Verify that you
have all the parts listed on page 3.
2. Assembling the Softboxes
A. Open up one of the softbox
bodies (J) and slip the body
Figure 1
Figure 3
Figure 2
over the light body (B) so that
the silver reflective side is facing the direction of the light
sockets (Figure 1).
B. Ensure that the orientation of the softbox is such that the
two hook and loop tabs are right or left with respect to
the light body (Figure 2).
C. Insert a tension
support flex rod (E)
into one of the
corners opposite a
hook & loop tab
(Figure 3). There will
be a cup sewn into
the corner that the
white plastic tip will
fit into.
Figure 6
Figure 4
D. Insert the other end of the tension support flex rod (E)
into the appropriate hole in the light body (B) to maintain
the orientation shown in Figure 2. (See Figure 3).
Repeat for second rod on the same side.
E. Now place the uncapped ends of the 3rd and 4th tension
support rods into the light
body opposite the first two,
so that they angle out to
meet the hook & loop
tabs. Stretch the softbox
body outward until you
can secure the end of the
tension rod with the hook
& loop fastener (Figure 4).
Repeat for the other
tension rod.
F. Now screw 5 light bulbs (G) into the light body (B)
(Figure 5).

G. Install the inner diffuser lens (I) into the light box using
the hook & loop fasteners on the inside the softbox body
(Figure 6).
H. The final step in completing
the softboxes is to install the main
diffuser lenses (H) over the softbox
body by hooking one corner of the
lens over one corner of the body and
fitting the entire lens over the soft
box, then securing it on all four sides
with the attached hook & loop
fasteners (Figure 7).
4. The light stand tripods (F) are
pre-assembled, and only require
Figure 8
that you fold the legs outward by
loosening the locking wingnut
and sliding the legs outward so
that the tripod will stand on it’s own.
5. Loosen the locking nut that secures the legs on the light
stand and slide the base ring downwards to spread the
legs outward. This will allow the light stand to stand
upright.
Figure 7
6. The light stands can be raised or lowered by loosening
the wingnuts at several levels on the shafts in order to
set your lights at the desired height (Figure 8).
7. Remove the little black cap from the end of
the light stands as seen in the top of Figure 8.
8. Loosen the wingnut on the light body enough
to allow the top post of the light stand to slide
through.
9. Place the light fixture/softbox assembly on top
of the light stand and tighten the wingnut
(Figure 9).
10. Install the power cord (C) into the back of
the light body.
11. Your light stand is now complete. Repeat
the process for the second light stand. Happy
shooting!
