PLB-400 Pro Photo LED Booth with Dimmer

Introduction

2

Thank you for choosing Impact.Impact’s PLB-400 portable LED photo booth is ideal for shooting large products, apparel, and portraits. It’s designed to provide the flexibility photographers need to create professional, shadowless images. The booth is lined with reflective, textured silver fabric for dramatic specular lighting, and diffusers are included to create a softer lighting environment. The white, black, and blue vinyl backgrounds are long enough to create a seamless sweep for your subject or model.

Eight 99-LED strips deliver brilliant, daylight-balanced light. They easily attach to the metal frame with magnets, so they can be placed precisely where they’re needed as either key or accent lights. The advanced design of the strips encloses the entire fixture to protect the LED array and wiring. With easy-to-assemble lightweight steel rods and a durable shell constructed with heavy-duty fabric, the booth sets up in minutes and breaks down into a compact carry case for convenient travel.

Assembly

Attaching the LEDs

The eight LED strips have magnets that allow you to attach them to any section of the frame.

• Use the LED strips as key lights by attaching them to the front-top or front-side rods.

• Use the LED strips as accent or back lights by attaching them to the back-top or back-side rods.

The booth is designed with eight holes that allow you to pass the power cords through and attach them to the dimmers. Align the LED strips so the cord is close to one of the holes. 8

To power the LED strips, connect them to the dimmers, and plug the dimmers into an outlet.

The dimmer knob turns each LED strip on and off, and controls the brightness.

Large Diffuser

If you want to use lights other than, or in addition to the LED strips, fit the large diffuser over the front of the booth to soften your lights.

Attach the diffuser with the four touch-fastener tabs located in the corners of the booth’s front opening.

When using the large diffuser, unzip the side panels to shoot your subject from an angle. 10

Side Flaps

The side flaps can be partially or entirely unzipped for an unobstructed view or when shooting your subject from a side angle.

To unzip the side flaps and secure them so they’re out of the way, follow these steps:

1. Unzip one or both side flaps.

2. Fold or roll the flaps outward so the silver fabric faces out.

3. Use the touch-fastener strips at the top and bottom of the flaps to secure the folded flap and keep it out of the way as you shoot. 9

Operation

Diffuser Strips

The diffuser strips extend along the entire height or width of the booth, and they’re designed to diffuse the light from the LED strips.

Attach the hooks at the ends of the diffuser strip to opposing rods. 11

Attaching a Background

The included white, black, and blue vinyl backgrounds are long enough to cover the back and bottom of the booth.

1. Use the hooks to attach the clips along the top rod at the back of the booth. 12

2. Insert the edge of the background into the clips to hold it in place. 12

3. Unroll the background along the length of the back and bottom of the booth, and tuck it into the front background flap. 13

Note: If you don’t want the background to cover the floor of the booth, tuck the end of the background into the rear background flap.

The Apparel Rod

The apparel rod hooks onto the top sides of the frame. Add the apparel rod to hang clothes from the top of the booth. 14
