2. Features
The GLP Creative Light 1 (CL1) is a wireless, battery-powered visual effect fixture for
the semi-professional event and professional entertainment market. Each CL1 has 24
individually controllable RGB pixels. Two different optical front screens are supplied
with the CL1, as well as a USB-A to USB-C charging cable. You can charge the CL1
using any standard USB charger. A traveling multi-device case with integrated
charging system is available as an optional accessory.
The CL1 is a highly advanced fixture in a compact package. It creates stunning light
effects using the integrated dynamic FX engine or when driven by individual RGB
pixel control. The fixture is perfect for setting creative visual highlights, illuminating
walls or integrating into dark areas of sets. The CL1 lets you create impressive visual
effects with minimal equipment size and budget.
Depending on the selected performance mode, the integrated battery can power
visual effects for up to 10 hours with white output and 24 hours with single-color
output.
The Creative Light 1 comes in two versions:
• The Creative Light 1 (CL1) can be controlled by IR Remote Control, by mobile
device via the GLP iQ.Mesh* system and GLP Creative Light app, and by use of
the control panel on the front of the fixture.
• The Creative Light 1 Plus (CL1+) offers all of the features of the CL1 but in addition
it features integrated LumenRadio CRMX TiMo technology that allows control by
wireless DMX.
This manual uses the name CL1 to refer to both the CL1 and CL1+ unless stated
otherwise.
If you have any questions about the CL1, the CL1+, CRMX, DMX control or iQ.Mesh,
for example, please contact your GLP supplier who will be happy to help you.
* iQ.Mesh is a new wireless mesh network technology available from GLP. iQ.Mesh
allows fixtures to communicate with each other, share data and receive and amplify
signals to set up huge networks. The GLP Creative Light smartphone app allows
communication with the mesh network and direct fixture control.
When controlled via the app, CL1 fixtures can generate an iQ.Mesh wireless network
with no need for any additional hardware. Each CL1 receives and amplifies the
signal, allowing the network to cover long physical distances.
The GLP Creative Light app provides an intuitive user interface and allows fast, easy
system setup. Multiple devices can be grouped for live control of intensity, strobe
and pulse effects, background and foreground colors, a variety of dynamic patterns
and sound-to-light audio triggering. The app is available from Play Store for Android
and App Store for iOS.

The configuration options available are described in this chapter.
Default control settings
By default, the CL1 and CL1+ are set up as follows:
• The CL1 is set to SIGNAL SOURCE: iQ.Mesh and NO-SIGNAL: MANUAL CONTROL.
This means the fixture automatically switches to manual / IR remote control as
long no valid iQ.Mesh Signal is being received or the fixture is not linked to the
Creative Light smartphone app.
• The CL1+ is set to SIGNAL SOURCE: CRMX and NO-SIGNAL: MANUAL CONTROL.
This means the fixture automatically switches to manual / IR remote control as
long no valid CRMX Signal is being received or the fixture is not linked to CRMX.
You can change these default settings in the fixture’s control menus under SIGNAL
SETTINGS →SIGNAL SOURCE and FIXTURE SETTINGS →NO-SIGNAL BEHAVIOR. See the
following sections for details.

• Manual / IR Remote
If you select MANUAL / IR REMOTE, IR appears in the bottom right-hand corner
of the CL1 display followed by ON or OFF depending on whether IR remote
control is enabled or disabled in the separate SIGNAL SETTINGS →IR REMOTE
CONTROL ON/OFF menu. You can now control the
CL1 using the MANUAL CONTROL menu or using the
infrared remote control that is supplied with the CL1.
See ‘Manual control’ on page 20 and ‘Infrared remote
control’ on page 21 for details of control options.
Tip! See Figure 6. As a shortcut, you can switch between
control signal sources by pressing and holding the DOWN
button for 3 seconds.
Fixture Settings
• No-signal Behavior lets you decide what the fixture should do if it is powered on
but not receiving (or has not received) a control signal. You can set the CL1 to
either black out, continue using the last commands it received via CRMX or
iQ.Mesh, or switch over to manual control.
• Mic Sensitivity adjusts the sensitivity of the CL1’s built-in microphone. The
microphone is used for audio triggering, which gives you various options for
synchronizing lighting changes with a music beat, for example.
If you set the CL1 to audio triggering and it does not respond to music, increase
microphone sensitivity towards 10 (the highest sensitivity setting). If the CL1
responds too actively to music, reduce microphone sensitivity towards 1 (the
lowest setting) until you obtain optimum performance.
• Power Mode lets you choose how you prioritize light output versus length of
operating time on one battery charge. There is a trade-off between these two
parameters, or course. Power Mode lets you choose maximum light output,
maximum operating time between battery charges or a good compromise
between these two settings.
• Emergency Light lets you define a static scene that the CL1 will display if it is
connected to external power but then external power is disconnected. You can
use Emergency Light as a control feature or as a way of providing emergency
lighting in the event of a loss of power.
• Default Settings returns the CL1 to its factory default settings without affecting its
control configuration. Mic Sensitivity, No-Signal Behavior etc. are returned to their
factory default settings, but DMX Address, Signal Source and Control Mode are
not changed. The CL1’s default settings are printed in bold type in the control
menus table starting on page 36.
Figure 6. DOWN

www.glp.de
CL1 / CL1+ User Manual 18
Manual Control menu
The Manual Control menu lets you use the control panel on the front of the CL1 to
display a static scene or run a dynamic pattern over the top of the main color. See
full details under ‘Manual control’ on page 20.
Fixture and iQ.Mesh information
The Information menu lets you call up information about the CL1’s fixture software
(firmware) versions and operating data. It also lets you call up information about the
iQ.Mesh system and see the fixture’s current iQ.Mesh status.
Service
The Service menu gives three options for managing the CL1’s firmware and settings.
• iQ.Mesh Upload prepares the CL1 for a firmware upload over an iQ.Mesh network
using the GLP Creative Light smartphone app. See the section on ‘Uploading new
firmware’ on page 33 for details.
• Load Setting Defaults is identical to the Default Settings command in the Fixture
Settings menu. It returns the CL1 to its factory default settings without affecting its
control configuration. Mic Sensitivity, No-Signal Behavior etc. are returned to their
factory default settings, but DMX Address, Signal Source and Control Mode are
not changed. The CL1’s default settings are printed in bold type in the control
menus table starting on page 36.
• Load Factory Backup re-initializes the CL1 completely. It returns the CL1 to its
factory default settings including its factory-set control configuration. Mic
Sensitivity, No-Signal Behavior etc. DMX Address, Signal Source and Control Mode
are all returned to the original factory default settings. The CL1’s default settings
are printed in bold type in the control menus table starting on page 36.
Important! A Load Factory Backup command will reset the CL1 to Manual / IR
Remote control. Any link to CRMX or iQ.Mesh control will be cut off.
Loading factory backup
To re-initialize the CL1 and restore its original factory
settings, switch the fixture on, then use a shortcut by
holding the ENTER button pressed in for 6 seconds.
The CL1’s individual configuration with all custom
settings is returned to factory defaults.
Important! If you are using CRMX (CL1+ only) or
iQ.Mesh control, note that loading factory backup
returns the fixture to an unlinked state, breaking off
communication with the CRMX link or iQ.Mesh
network.
Figure 7. Restoring factory
settings

German Light Products®
19 Rev. 20210303-01
In the CL1+, the DMX address also returns to the factory default, which is 001.
To re-establish CRMX control, see below.
To re-establish iQ.Mesh control, see ‘Setting up iQ.Mesh control’ on page 19.
Linking to a CRMX Transmitter (CL1+ only)
Whenever CRMX is enabled and the CL1+ is not already linked, it searches for a
LumenRadio CRMX transmitter.
To link the CL1+ with a new CRMX transmitter:
Enter the control menus, navigate to SIGNAL SETTINGS →SIGNAL SOURCE and
select CRMX.
Navigate to SIGNAL SETTINGS →CRMX LINK and select LINK/UNLINK.
Start the linking process at the CRMX transmitter as described in the transmitter’s
user manual.
TIP: The quickest way of setting up multiple CL1+ fixtures for DMX use is to carry out a
LOAD FACTORY BACKUP on each fixture by pressing and holding its ENTER Button for
6 seconds. This will return the fixture to factory settings and delete all CRMX and
iQ.Mesh links. The fixtures are now ready for linking to a transmitter. After successful
linking, set up the fixtures’ DMX addresses and DMX control mode.
DMX settings (CL1+ only)
When using DMX control via CRMX, you need to consider the following setup
options.
DMX Address
If you want individual control of the CL1+ in an installation containing more than one
fixture, you will need to give the CL1+ its own individual DMX address. Fixtures of the
same type that share the same DMX address behave identically.
The CL1+ is set to DMX address 001 by default.
DMX Modes
The CL1 has three DMX control modes: Basic, Pattern and MultiPix modes. The
different modes give you a choice of control options. See ‘DMX control modes
overview (CL1+ only)’ starting on page 39 for details.
Setting up iQ.Mesh control
To set up a CL1 fixture so that you can control it with the GLP iQ.Mesh system and
Creative Light smartphone app, open the control menus, navigate to SIGNAL
SETTINGS →SIGNAL SOURCE and select iQ.Mesh. See full details under ‘Creative Light
app control‘ on page 24.

CL1 / CL1+ User Manual 20
7. Manual control
If you set the CL1 to MANUAL / IR REMOTE CONTROL in the SIGNAL SETTINGS menu
(you can also use a shortcut by pressing and holding the DOWN button to scroll
through the control signal sources), you can control it manually using the CL1’s
integrated control panel.
Manual control gives the same options as Pattern DMX Mode (see ‘DMX Mode 2:
Pattern’ on page 39). Additionally, you can set changes between steps in patterns
to snap (instant change from one step to the next) or crossfade (fade from one step
to the next).
The control options available when using Manual control are as follows:
