SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Various symbols are used throughout this instruction manual and on the product to prevent physical
harm to you or other people and damage to property.
The symbols and their meanings are explained below.
Warning
Possible risk of injury or damage to equipment
Danger
This symbol indicates the risk of electric shock or fire danger that could
result in injury or damage to equipment.
This equipment has been checked and meets the requirements of general safety for electronic
devices. These requirements are specified to provide a reasonable protection against
electromagnetic interferences when the equipment is used in commercial environments.
This equipment generates, uses and can emit waves of radio frequency, and if not properly used
following the instructions of this manual can produce interferences in radio communications. The use
of this equipment in residential areas can produce interference, the user will be the only responsible
of correcting them.
CAUTION: Though the light generated by LED does not produce any heat, for what his use turns out
to be very comfortable for the actors, the lamp head acts as a heat sink through its back part.
Surface can reach a temperature between the 50 ºC and the 80 ºC. Please use protective gloves if
you touch the lamp head at the heat sink.
Danger
Do not attempt to open any of the device or component housings. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove lamp head or Control
Unit cover. No user-serviceable parts inside. Maintenance and repair
work to be carried out only by THELIGHT Service Centre.
Do not cover the aluminium lamp head heat sink while using it. Proper
ventilation must be provided. Avoid exposing the lamp head to the heat
radiation of other light fixtures.
The lamp head is equipped with high power LEDs. Due to their high light-
output intensity don’t stare directly into the light source.
Warning
In order to protect against risk of electric shock, the installation should be
properly grounded. Defeating the purpose of the grounding type plug will
expose you to the risk of electric shock.

1. MAIN FEATURES
4LONG / 4LIGHT / 6LIGHT are LED panels housing a total of 192 high power LED (4LONG) / 96
high power LED (6LIGHT) / 144 high power LED (6LIGHT). They have been specially designed and
their colorimetry calibrated for professional photography, cinematography and television industry use.
THELIGHT luminaries main innovative features are:
•Variable Colour Temperature
•Stable colour dimming
•Green/magenta bias control
•Very high light output
•Low power draw
•High CRI digitally calibrated light
•Lightweight lamp head
NOTE ABOUT MEASURING COLOUR TEMPERATURE (CCT)
4LONG / 4LIGHT / 6LIGHT incorporate the innovative THELIGHT technology based on high power
LED triplets Warm White + White + Green + fresnel lens + CPU control software to obtain the wide
range of calibrated colour temperatures combined with a high colour rendering index CCT.
We must remark that colour meters in use today are designed for a full spectrum source such as
incandescent lights and therefore cannot be used to accurately read the correlated colour
temperature (CCT) of the light emitted by THELIGHT and other LED light fixtures.
The eventual diversions to green display as CC10M or CC15M in hand-held colour meters are due to
these unaccuracy on reading of the light emitted by LED and must not be considered.
THELIGHT guarantees pure white light and correct colorimetry of the light delivered by its high power
LED luminaries which have been calibrated in laboratory according to CIE 13.3-1995 international
standards for measurement of the CRI and chromatic coordinates (x, and CIE-1931).
The reliability of this digital equipment is supported by the calibration THELIGHT has made in
laboratory by spectrophotometer, which precision is half-yearly calibrated according to the National
Institute of Standards (NIST) of the United States and of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt
(PTB) of Germany.
In order that the advanced THELIGHT luminaries could be used together with other light sources,
THELIGHT has accurately calibrated both the CCT and the chromatic coordinates to match them with
traditional light sources following tungsten and daylight standards.
The digital Control Unit allows a further and precise green/magenta correction along the whole scale
of colour temperatures.
