2. Accessories
2.1 Barndoors
Barndoors have friction adjustment on all hinges. If necessary
these can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the
cross-headed screw in the centre of each hinge.
These may require tightening after continuous use.
When folding up the barn doors it is important to fold in the
end barndoors first
, as this protects the barndoor paint-work
from damage.
Fabric corner reflectors are supplied with the unit, and are fitted
using the Velcro strips. When fitted, the corner reflectors can
increase the light output by ensuring that the barndoor reflectors
are at the optimum angle for the tightest beam, when all barndoors
are set at approximately the same angle, and the fabric corners
are pulled tight. The corners will also restrict light spill while
allowing some adjustment to the barndoor angle if necessary.
When packing up a lighting head, the corner reflectors may remain attached to the top and bottom
barndoors and will tuck under the ends of the barndoor as it is folded up.
Accessories can be fitted to the front of the barndoors using the Velcro tabs on the top and bottom
barndoors, and the thumbscrews on the end barndoors.
To achieve maximum reflection from the mirror barndoors we recommend that they are wiped
clean of dust with a very soft cloth periodically.
2.2 honeycomb Focus Mesh
To fit a Focus Mesh, first align and attach the Velcro tabs to the top and bottom barndoors, then
align the thumbscrews and screw into either end of the Focus Mesh panel. These thumbscrews
are a safety feature, and should always be used to ensure that Focus Mesh panels and other
accessories can not become detached accidentally.
The standard mesh beam angles provided are 20, 40 and 60 degrees.
2.3 polycarbonate lamp Guard and Colour Frame
This unit screws into the front face of the Softlux and provides a clear plastic protective cover for
the fluorescent tubes. This unit is recommended in studios where pole operated units are in use
as poles sometimes slip and could go straight into the tubes. In addition a slot is provided into
which coloured gel may be added to provided a coloured wash of light for cloths or set pieces.
2.4 pole operated Yoke (option)
This item is normally fitted at the time of manufacture, in exceptional circumstances it may be
retrofitted. A separate set of instructions are provided should this be required.
Looking from the rear of the unit you will see a white cup on the left side and a blue cup on the
right side. The white cup controls the tilt angle and the blue cup the pan. These may be user
adjusted as required. When they reach the end of their travel do not attempt to travel further as
this may damage the gearboxes fitted. These gearboxes are sealed units and require no periodic
maintenance.
