straight talk:
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE BALLAST BEFORE CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING LAMPS,
HARNESSES, OR EXTENSION CABLES.
DO NOT OPERATE ON SCR DIMMERS!
Use only with Sine wave inverters and dimmers. If
powering the ballasts through a Dimmer Pack set the Dimmer to Non-Dim Mode.
To make the best use of the Kino-flo (and any high-wattage fixture) with
household power, you should have some
knowledge of basic electrical calculations and on-set technique.
Learn more about powering your set by reading my article
in the May Issue of DV Magazine, or read it online

grip tips:
Use the holes in the 4BANK shell to secure the light to a wall or ceiling.
When gelling the light, clip gels to the barn doors, leaving room for airflow
between gel and lights. Overheated bulbs can result in shifting color
temperature and increased green spike in the spectrum. In overly hot
environments, the egg crate can actually melt.
The lamps can operate independent of the fixture allowing them to be built
into sets or custom soft boxes or hand held as a single tube for an
eye-light.
The head can operate underwater without
modification. Don't drop the ballast in water!
