Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Unbox and Prepare the Components

• Included Items:
  • Lighting tree with two tiers (top and bottom)
  • Pole extender (optional for additional height)
  • Hardware for mounting lights (bolts, washers, wing nuts)
  • Travel bag for easy storage and transport

2. Setting Up the Pole Extender (Optional)

• Optional Step: If you want to make your lighting tree taller, attach the pole extender first:
  • Loosen the knob on the bottom of the extender.
  • Line up the hole at the bottom of the extender with the top of the speaker stand.
  • Tighten the knob to secure the extender in place.

3. Setting Up the Lighting Tree on the Stand

• Attach to Stand:
  • Loosen the knob at the bottom of the lighting tree.
  • Line up the hole on the bottom of the tree with the top pole of the stand.
  • Slide it on and tighten the knob to secure the tree to the stand.

4. Attaching the Arms

• The lighting tree features four arms, allowing you to set up two rows of lights.
  • For each arm, raise it and use the safety pin to secure it in place.
  • Repeat for all arms until they are fully set.

5. Setting Up Lights

• Attaching Par Lights:
  • Take a bolt, two washers, and a wing nut.
  • Remove the wing nut and one washer from the bolt.
  • Insert the bolt and washer into one of the holes on the lighting tree.
  • Place the par light bracket onto the bolt and secure it with the wing nut.
  • Tighten it to secure the light in place.
• Attaching Wedge Lights (No Bracket):
  • Use the same process but without the wing nut.
  • Attach one washer, then slide the wedge light onto the bolt.
  • Tighten using a wrench or your hand, securing the light in place.

6. Adjusting and Customizing

• You can attach different types of lights (par lights, wedge lights, etc.) to the tree, as long as they fit the hardware and holes on the tree.

7. Breaking Down the Tree

• Disassemble the Lights:
  • Carefully remove the lights and keep the hardware safe for next use.
• Lower the Arms:
  • Push out the safety pins, lower the arms, and reinsert the pins to lock them in place.
