INTRODUCTION
The Ultralight 2 (UL2) is an extremely compact, super lightweight version of the original Ultralight system,
designed specifically for on-camera lighting applications.
The Ultralight 2 incorporates many unique features including:
• Included with a AB-60, wide angle bulb.
• A diffused glass for smoother beam patterns.
• Quick-change head module feature permits instant field light source changes without direct bulb
handling, adjusting to full or spot lighting situations.
• The head module tilts for indirect lighting applications and can be easily fitted with a swing away
wide angle adapter (UL-WA), diffuser (UL-DF), or dichroic filter (UL-DC).
• Compact size with the quick-change head module removed the Ultralight 2 is a mere 2¼” x 1½”
x 1” and can be left on the camera at all times without interfering with operation, fitting easily
into a camera case with little or no modification to the case.
• A patented universal mounting system for ¼-20 stud or shoe type mounting is standard -
eliminating the need for special studs or adapters.
• An Integral PowerTap connector cable comes in lengths to dress neatly on any camera/camcorder
- no secondary cables are required to mate to any Gold Mount camera bracket.
OPERATING
When powering the Ultralight 2 through the on-board camera battery pack (integral PowerTap connector
cable), the UL2 should be turned off and the battery pack charged as soon as the camera battery warning
light comes on in the viewfinder. If the light is left on after this point, the UL2 will continue to drain the
battery which can cause permanent damage to the cell pack. Greater caution is required if an external,
unmetered battery is used. In this case, suggested bulb run times should be followed closely and the
battery should be changed before the light begins to grow noticeably dimmer. During battery operation
the light should never be left on when unattended.
To achieve the full versatility and benefits of the Ultralight 2 system several spare Head Modules should
be employed with each light to carry spare bulbs or a variety of bulb voltages, wattages and beam
angles. The Head Module is designed to be a compact and rugged storage container allowing extra
bulbs to be easily and safely carried in the field. Bulbs can then be quickly switched for different
lighting conditions or changes in power source. Carrying spare bulbs in fragile cardboard packages
defeats one of the main features of the Ultralight 2.
