FAQs
What is the color temperature range of the LEDs?
The LEDs offer a range from 3000K (warm white) to 5600K (cool white), allowing for adjustable white light.
Is this light suitable for permanent installation?
Yes, the heavy-duty metal chassis and stand/bracket are designed for professional use, including semi-permanent installations when mounted securely.
Can I mix cool and warm white to create custom colors?
While the primary function is adjustable white, advanced DMX control can be used to fine-tune the balance between cool and warm LEDs for subtle color temperature adjustments, rather than creating full RGB colors.
What is the beam angle?
The beam angle is 36 degrees, providing a focused light output.
How do I operate the unit without a DMX controller?
You can use the built-in auto, sound-activated, and static programs controlled via the panel on the back of the unit.
What is the power consumption?
The total power consumption is 250W.
Does it come with a power cable?
The unit features twist and lock power connections, implying a compatible power cable with a matching connector is required or included separately.
Troubleshooting
Unit does not power on.
Check that the power cable is securely connected at both ends and that the power source is active. Verify the voltage compatibility (110V-240V AC).
Light output is dim or flickering.
Ensure the unit is not overheating. Check that the fan vents are clear of obstructions. If using DMX, verify the channel settings and dimmer levels.
No response to DMX controller.
Confirm that the DMX cable is correctly connected and functioning. Ensure the unit's DMX address is set correctly and matches the controller's output channel. Test with a different DMX cable.
Sound-activated mode is not working.
Ensure the microphone is not covered and that the unit is receiving sufficient sound levels. Adjust sensitivity if available through the control panel or DMX.
Fan noise is audible.
While designed for quiet operation, some minimal fan noise may be present. Ensure vents are clear; if noise is excessive, the fan may require servicing or replacement.
