Setup Guide

A.) Positioning Without the Bracket

Totem Stand Setup:

1. Remove the bracket from the Best PAR 60 (if attached).
2. Lift the scrim of your totem stand.
3. Place the Best PAR 60 inside, facing upwards.
4. Set your desired color or mode on the light.
5. Lower the scrim back down.

Wall Washing (Direct Placement):

1. Remove the bracket from the Best PAR 60.
2. Place the light directly on the floor against the wall.
3. Ensure the light faces upwards to create a "wall wash" effect.
4. Select your preferred mode or color.

B.) Positioning With the Bracket

Attaching the Bracket:

1. Locate the included bracket, washers and knobs.
2. Place washers onto each knob.
3. Align the bracket’s holes with the holes on each side of the Best PAR 60.
4. Insert knobs into the bracket holes, feeding them through the bracket into the fixture.
5. Securely tighten the knobs so the bracket is firmly attached.

Adjustable Wall Washing:

1. Angle the bracket downward and spread the bracket handles so they support the fixture on the floor.
   • Tip: For enhanced stability, spread the bracket arms wider apart.
2. Position the light near a wall, adjusting the bracket angle and distance to direct the beam precisely to your liking.
3. Ensure the bracket knobs are tightened so the light stays in place.
4. Select the desired mode or color and adjust until satisfied with the wall coverage.

Mounting on a Truss or Speaker Stand:

To mount the Best PAR 60 on a truss, lighting / speaker stand pole or other useable surface, you’ll need a lighting clamp (e.g., Rockville LC70: Heavy Duty C-Clamp).

1. Identify the pre-drilled hole in the bracket's center and attach your lighting clamp:
   • Remove the hex-bolt from the lighting clamp.
   • Insert the bolt through the holes on both brackets so the threads are facing outward (away from the light).
   • Align the screw hole on the outside of the clamp with the threads from the bolt.
   • Secure the clamp onto the bracket by tightening the bolt.
2. Securely attach the clamp to your truss:
   • Loosen the clamp’s butterfly screw until wider than your truss / pole diameter.
   • Position the clamp on your truss or speaker stand pole.
   • Tighten the butterfly screw to lock the light in place.
3. Adjust the angle of the fixture as needed.
4. Choose your lighting settings (mode / color).
   • Tip: Use a wireless DMX controller or included remote for effortless wireless control, eliminating the need for additional power or DMX cables.

Troubleshooting & FAQs:

Q: My light is unstable when using the bracket on the floor. What can I do?

• Spread the two bracket arms wider for a sturdier setup.
• Make sure the knobs are securely tightened on both sides.

Q: Can I control the Best PAR 60 remotely when mounted on a truss?

• Yes, the Best PAR 60 supports wireless DMX and remote control. Use a wireless DMX controller or the provided wireless remote to change modes and colors remotely.

Q: The bracket seems loose. How can I fix this?

• Ensure the knobs and washers are properly tightened. Double-check alignment of bracket screws and holes to secure the bracket firmly.
