STROBELITE STRIP BANK
The Strobelite Strip Bank is 17” x 50” and made of a lightweight fabric shell with a silver interior. The strip
has an internal baffle, exterior diffusion panel, four support rods and a storage bag. The Strip Bank is made of flame­retardant material to withstand heat up to 500 watts and has hook and loop tape tab closures. If overheating is a concern, the strip’s unique design allows heat to escape by opening the flaps in the back of the unit or opening the 2 heat vents.
To mount the Strip Bank onto the adapter ring, insert the support rods into the rod loop holes in the corners of the fabric shell of the strip bank and into the end pockets at the front edge of the box just before the *Velcro for the front diffusion panel. Place the strip onto a table or the floor and spread rods apart so the strip is rectangular in shape with the open rod ends facing upward. Insert one rod into the hole marked A1 of the adapter ring. While pressing down on the adapter ring, insert the next rod into hole A3. The pressure exerted on the adapter ring should be enough to bring the adapter ring down to easily guide the next rod into place. Bend the rod directly beside the second one to coincide with the angle of the hole A2 in the adapter ring. (You should be inserting the rods in the direction of a figure eight, ending with the rod that was directly beside the first rod inserted). Slide the remaining rod end into the hole marked A4 of the adapter ring. **Note that all rods
must be seated completely into the holes of the ring.
After the Strip Box is mounted onto the adapter ring, mount the strip box and adapter ring onto the light head. The internal baffle may now be snapped into place. Next, the external diffusion may be fastened onto the front of the unit. The
external diffusion panel can be used in either the
recessed or flat front positions. The adapter ring
should also allow the Strip Bank to turn from a long profile to a wide profile even after it is mounted on the light.

To dismount the adapter ring, first remove the diffusion panel. Put the Strobelite Strip Bank onto a table or the floor. Position the strip so that a rod is easily accessible to your hand. While exerting a slight pressure onto the speed ring with your other hand, pull steadily on the rod. The object of putting pressure onto the adapter ring is to line up the angle between the rod and the adapter ring port. (The angles created by the tension on the metal rod push against the adapter ring ports. This is what causes the strip to stay mounted onto the ring.) After one rod is pulled out, release the pressure on the adapter ring. Pulling steadily on the opposite rod to dismount it followed by the remaining 2 rods.
