How to use

Multiple lights can be combined if additional illumination is required.

Recommendations

For best results, position the light close to the subject to minimise shadows and use moderate dimming to avoid overexposure on faces. When using the smartphone holder, ensure the device width fits within 4.8–9.5 cm and that the clamp is secured to prevent slipping.
