Surge protection device recommended
This product contains sensitive electrical components that may have been damaged by electrical spikes, surges, electric shocks, lightning strikes, etc. The use of surge protection systems is highly recommended in order to protect and extend the life of your equipment.

The light features nine 10-watt RGBW LEDs and several built-in programs for dimming and strobe effects, including a Strobe Follow mode, which allows multiple lights to strobe in sequence, rather than all at the same time. It also supports standard DMX-512 control signals for use as part of a larger light production.

DMX Control

Master/Slave Operation

Multiple fixtures can be daisy-chained together, using DMX cables (available separately) to connect the DMX OUT connector on one fixture to the DMX IN connector on the next in line.
The last light in the chain must have a DMX Terminator (P/N 601600, available separately) connected to the DMX OUT connector.
The first fixture in the chain is considered the Master and all the others are considered Slaves, that will perform the same actions as the Master. The Slaves must all be set to menu mode A.001.The Master can then be set to use any built-in program or to a DMX address for direct control using a DMX Controller (P/N 612120,available separately) to create the desired light effect.
Note: If the daisy chain is longer than 60 meters or if it contains 20 or more light fixtures, a DMX signal amplifier should be used to ensure that all devices get valid instruction signals.

3-PIN XLR to 5-PIN DMX Conversion

While most DMX-compatibIe equipment uses 3-pin XLR connectors, some devices use the official 5-pin DMX connector. To make a 3-pin to 5-pin converter simply make a cable with a 3 pin XLR connector on one end and a 5-pin DMX connector on the other. Connect the pins as follows:
