How do I install a MediaLight Mk2 when my display is on a stand?
Greetings from Residence Inn, West Orange, where we are camping out until power is restored back in our home town of Kinnelon, NJ. We were hit pretty hard by Isaias, but a customer asked me to show how to properly install a an Mk2 in the “inverted-u” when a display is on a stand. Obviously, we always travel with bias lights for our hotel room ;) so I ask my daughter to film the installation on her iPhone.
In this case, I’m installing a 1m Mk2 Eclipse on a 42” LG display. Following the size chart on our site, it would also apply to installing a 2m Mk2 Flex on a 65” display, for example. Starting from the center, as I do here, is only necessary when the strip is shorter than it would need to be to cover 3 sides of the display close to the edge (look at the size charge for 3-sided coverage).
This method is good for iMacs, computer monitors and smaller TVs on a stand. It’s not the method to use if your display is on a flush wall mount. You’d need a longer strip, closer to the edge of the display to prevent shadows.
