Image showing how to remove the red tape.

Align the screw holes on the plates and press both parts together with one hand.

Ensure the plates are aligned, then secure all three screws fully. Do not over tighten the screws.

Remove any packaging from the base of the Vertical assembly.

Turn the light on its side.

Carefully fit the cord into the indicated groove ensuring it's not twisted.

Place the light upright ensuring the cord remains in place.

Remove the transit tape and all packaging from the product.

Plug in the power supply unit and turn on the light using the button.

The light can be adjusted, vertically, horizontally and rotate through 360°. Adjust the position of the light by moving the arm not the weight.
