Pack, position, and power the L60-B Bi-Color COB LED 2-Light Backpack Kit for interviews and location shoots. A step-by-step travel lighting setup with checkpoints.

Quick answer

For most travel interviews, pack both L60-B heads, the included 45° Ultra Reflectors, and your stands in the backpack, then set the key at 45° and the fill opposite at half power. Check that both fixtures are set to the same color temperature before you roll.

Why the L60-B kit suits location work

The L60-B is a 60W bi-color COB LED that is 20% smaller than similar COBs, so two heads plus accessories fit in a backpack instead of a hard case. That size advantage matters when you are moving between rooms or shooting outdoors without a cart. The trade-off is that 60W per head is modest for large rooms or bright windows; plan to control ambient light or position subjects closer to the fixtures.

What to verify before you leave

The kit includes a power region option, so confirm your region's plug type matches the included power supply before you travel. Also check that your stands and any modifiers you add will fit the backpack's compartments; the kit does not list a stand capacity, so test-pack your actual load. If you need soft light, plan to bring a softbox or umbrella that mounts to the L60-B, and allow extra pack space.

Step-by-step travel lighting setup

Pack the backpack by weight and access: Place the two L60-B heads in the padded compartments, put the 45° Ultra Reflectors in the front pocket, and coil cables separately. Keep the power supplies at the top for quick access at security or when you arrive. Weigh the packed bag before you leave; if it feels unbalanced, move the heaviest items closer to your back.
Set stands and rough positions first: Extend your light stands to just above the subject's eye level. Place the key light about 45° to one side of the subject and the fill light opposite, roughly 45° on the other side. Keep both fixtures at least 1 meter from the subject to use the reflector's output efficiently. Check that stands are not in the shot and that cables have slack for small subject movements.
Match color temperature on both heads: Set both L60-B fixtures to the same Kelvin value, typically 5600K for daylight or 3200K for tungsten interiors. Use the built-in adjustable settings to fine-tune, then confirm the readout on each head before mounting modifiers. If you change one head's color temperature, change the other to match; mismatched heads are a common cause of odd skin tones.
Attach the 45° Ultra Reflector and aim: Mount the included reflector on each head and point the key light slightly down toward the subject's face. Aim the fill light flat or slightly up to soften shadows. Avoid pointing the reflector into a window or white wall that will bounce light back into the lens. Look for a hot spot on the background; if you see one, angle the reflector away or move the fixture closer to the subject.
Set power and dim to taste: Start with the key light at 50% and the fill at 25%, then adjust. The L60-B is fully dimmable and flicker-free up to 1000 FPS, so you can raise power for slow motion without banding. Use the lowest power that gives you a clean exposure at your chosen aperture. If you need more output, move the light closer rather than maxing power; it keeps the subject comfortable and preserves color accuracy.
Run a final flicker and color check: Record a 10-second test clip at your intended frame rate, including any slow-motion setting. Review it on a monitor for banding and check that skin tones look neutral. Confirm both heads are set to the same color temperature and that no reflector is causing a color cast. If you see banding, lower the shutter angle or adjust the fixture's dimming until the flicker disappears.
