- Interviews, location daylight, and compact punch
- Connect head, head cable, and ballast with power off, then place the ballast where vents remain clear and dry.
- Spot or flood before the take and use scrims, diffusion, or distance for exposure control rather than unsafe improvised materials.
- Test the selected ballast mode at the actual frame rate, especially for high-speed capture.
- Respect hot surfaces and UV output: keep protection glass installed, use gloves, and cool the fixture fully before wrap.
