Installing or Updating Luminaire Firmware

Luminaire firmware for the VL1100 LED luminaire can be loaded via PEGASUS. This section
describes the process.
Note: To determine software version at luminaire, see
page 49.
Using PEGASUS Uploader
When luminaires are data linked together, you can program up to 32 luminaires at the same time; refer
to "Connecting Data and Power" on page
program them in batches of 32 or less.
Important Notes and Warnings:
• DMX Data must be disconnected before uploading software to luminaires. Do not merge
firmware files with DMX signals.
• You can upload multiple firmware files to a variety of luminaires that are data linked together.
Each model of Philips Entertainment luminaire recognizes its own software and only

• Do not use a USB hub, always connect directly to a USB port on your computer.
