How to use

Position the KAISER RB 5270 Lighting Unit at an appropriate distance and angle from the subject to achieve even coverage; for flat documents and artwork, place lights symmetrically to reduce reflections and shadowing. Secure the unit to a stable support or stand using standard fittings, then adjust height and tilt for the desired illumination balance. Use camera exposure settings and white balance adjustments to match the continuous light output for accurate colour reproduction.

Usage recommendations

For best reproduction results, use two units placed at equal angles to the subject to create balanced, shadow-free illumination. Allow the lighting to stabilise before critical captures and verify white balance using a grey card or reference target. When photographing reflective surfaces, experiment with slight changes in angle or use polarising filters to minimise glare.
