"My name is Anthony Maddaloni and I'm going to talk about how to mount a Photogenic 1250k. One very important thing about any kind of lighting, especially a 1250k, is that you have it on a good light stand. Not a light stand you made, but a proper light stand preferably, actually definitely, with a sandbag. A sandbag is going to keep someone, maybe even you, from potentially knocking into that light and knocking it over. You know, if you knock a 1250k over, let's say even on to some fabric or your couch, you could essentially start a fire. That's not a good photo shoot where fire, unless you want it, is involved. So, that is one way that I would mount a 1250k and be very careful about my sandbag, my electrical cords. I like to tape them down, make sure nobody trips over this light. That is one way that I would mount a Photogenic 1250k."
