Tips for Care and Use 

 
Cleaning - Your Chimera Lightbank can be cleaned by hand washing with 
cold water, a sponge and mild soap. Do not machine wash. To dry, 
assemble the Lightbank onto a Speed Ring and completely air dry. 
 
Repair - Chimera has an expert in-house repair department. Lightbanks 
need to be clean, with any added tape removed before sending in for 
repair. If the Lightbank is received in dirty or in taped condition, the repair 
may be refused and returned to the sender. Please call in advance to get a 
Return Authorization Number and repair estimate at 888-444 1812.
