To switch between electrical CC filters
with an assignable switch
You can assign the function that switches
between electrical CC filters to an assignable

temperatures (3200K/4300K/5600K/6300K) that
have been assigned using up to four positions (A
to D) with each press of the assignable switch.
Regardless of assignments to assignable
