User Manual for SmallRig RC 100B COB LED Video Light

Quick Guide from the Manual

Before using your SmallRig RC 100B, please note these critical requirements:

• Remove the silicone cover from the COB chip board before turning on the light.
• Power Requirements: To achieve full 100% brightness, use a power source of 100W or above (e.g., 98Wh+ V-mount battery, 100W+ USB-C PD power supply). Using lower wattage power sources will limit the maximum brightness output.
• Safety: The light generates heat. Do not block cooling holes, do not touch the COB chip or front glass during or immediately after use, and allow the unit to cool before storage.
• Low Battery: If the external battery voltage drops below 12V, a low battery alert will trigger.

• Mini XLR: Supports AC to DC adapters (optional) for continuous wall power.
• Battery: Supports V-Mount batteries (via BP interface) or NP-F batteries (via plate). Note that using batteries below the recommended specifications may result in reduced brightness or abnormal operation.

Safety and Maintenance

• Overheating Protection: The unit has built-in protection. If the COB chip exceeds 100°C, the light will activate protection mode.
• Sensor Error: If the screen displays "Sensor error," the temperature sensor has malfunctioned; contact your dealer for repair.
• Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth. Disconnect all power cables before cleaning.
