Q-Rainbow RGBX Linear LED Introduction Based on the Crossfade Linear LED (X) which utilizes our 2000k and 6000k diodes to create variable broad spectrum white light, the Rainbow adds red, green and blue (RGB) diodes to the mix. RGB + Crossfade = RGBX When desaturating a color, such as red, using only RGB systems, the desired light level is achieved by mixing in the green and blue diodes.
Q-Rainbow RGBX Linear LED As illustrated above with RGB derived white light, wide gaps in the spectral distribution compromise color response. With the RGBX system, the broad spectral curve provides a more balanced distribution, leveling the peaks and valleys, which more accurately renders natural colors and skin tones.
Q-Rainbow RGBX Linear LED Basic Operation The menu system is design to be easy an intuitive. Select a Parameter: Press the Left and Right arrows until desired function is selected. Edit a Parameter: When a Parameter is selected, there will be selection carets next to it.
Q-Rainbow RGBX Linear LED Status Lights The Rainbow Status Lights Solid Red Light - Data Received No Red Light - No Data Received or Wireless/Status Lights are turned off. Solid Green Light - Lamp is paired and receiving transmission. Slow Flashing Green Light - Wireless DMX is paired but transmitter not found.
