Using the ADJ UBL912H 1X40 Linear Diffusion Filter is super easy. First, make sure you have the ADJ UBL9H or UBL12H Linear fixture, as the filter is designed for these. Then, simply slide the filter into the channel on the front of the fixture. Once it's in place, use the provided thumbscrew to secure it. You can then adjust the beam angle from 17 to 40 degrees to get the perfect lighting ambiance. Remember, the lighting fixture needs to be bought separately. When it comes to maintenance, gently clean the filter with a soft, dry cloth to keep it in good condition. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they might damage the filter. If you notice any issues with the filter or the thumbscrew, contact the manufacturer for assistance.
