Assembling
gnis Buugengs are delivered
disassembled. Assemble them before
using. Before connecting one part to the
other, remove colored protecting caps.
Dear customer,
Thank you for purchasing gnis pixel Buugeng 80. To make its lifetime as long as possible, as well
as to keep the warranty valid, please read the instruction entirely and follow our advice.
Controls
gnis pixel Buugengs have three control buttons placed
near the handle.

To turn on the device, hold the button pushed at least 1 second. You will see ascending
- - gradient. Wait until the gradient is full. The buugeng is on, you are in Standby mode.
You see Basic menu with 6 orange and 8 green lights, a blinking cursor lights up.

greenorange
This menu consists of 3 preset timelines of color, and 4 custom timelines of color:
System menu, Submenu
The images in PRESET TIMELINES 1 and 2 change are displayed for 4 seconds on default. You can set the
duration from the application or in System menu of the device (look section below) in
the range from 1 to 8 seconds.
Note 1:
If you run random playback from the app on several devices at the same time, it will pseudo-random
playback. It means that pictures go randomly, but all the props will show the same. If you run preset timeline 2 on
dierent props from the button at dierent time, they all will display dierent images — it's actually random.
Note 2:

When you go into this mode, you see a rainbow-like scale of colors. Selected color blinks. To choose a
certain color, navigate with and buttons, then click button — you will see the device glows
with a solid color. Another click on button returns you to Standby mode, the cursor is on Timeline 3
again. When the device is launched on a certain color and if the device is untouched, one of the LEDs on the scale
shines dimmer than the others. Its position shows the current battery level. If the dim LED is on top, it means
100% battery charge. Lower position of the dim LED means lower battery charge. When you use the device as a
lamp in this mode, for example in camping, in a tent or elsewhere, you can visually evaluate the remained battery
level. It can be useful if, for example, for the next several hours you need to use it as a lantern, and you can
decrease the brightness so the device shines longer. Anyway, when you start spinning the device with enough
speed, all LEDs become the same bright.

The device is charged 80 %

After 10 minutes of inaction in Standby mode, the device automatically turns itself o. In
timeline/picture mode the device works until the battery is discharged.
When the battery is low, the LEDs blink red for 10 seconds. To maintain the lifetime of the battery
it’s highly recommended charging Ignis buugengs the same day you use it.
Charging
To charge the device, plug it to a USB-charger or
computer — you will see a red light. You can see
the level of charge by position of the red light.
The level of charge corresponds to its position. If
it’s in the middle, the device is 50% charged, if on
top — it refers to full charge, etc. When the
device is on charge, the red light slowly moves
towards the top position. When it is completely
charged, the light nally turns green
Lithium batteries don’t have a memory eect, that is why we recommend charging the props
every time after using them; don’t wait till they are totally discharged. If you charge the props
every time, it makes the lifetime of the battery longer.
Avoid deep discharge of your props! Otherwise, it may result in loss of battery capacity and
reduction of working time.
“Performance” mode
This mode blocks all buttons to prevent them from
casual clicks during the performance. If you need to
lock all the buttons and make the device running with
the music, do the following:
1Run a required timeline.
2DOWN
Press and hold button for 2
seconds. You’ll see the uppermost led
shines blue.

3ow your device is in a “trigger” state. It means that clicking any button will run the timeline
you selected before. To be exact, the device starts running at releasing any button. So, you
need to press any button, and release it right with the start of the music.
Note: If no button is pressed within 1 hour, the device automatically shuts itself down.
4After the device is launched, all the buttons are locked from accidental clicks.
There are three ways to go out of this mode:
DOWN
holding button gets the props back into “Performance preparation” mode.
PLAY/STOP
holding button turns o the device.
UP
holding button gets the props back to Standby mode.

Taking photos and videos with your buugen
ou will need a camera with manual settings mode and a ash. Find a dark place, the spinner
should be in deep shadow. Set your camera: ISO 200, f6.3, shutter speed = the speed of your trick,
0,3-0,5 sec usually. Turn the ash on. If poi trail is too bright, use f8.0
Video is a trickier thing. ou have to upload images with reduced to 12-25% brightness. This is
necessary to equalize poi luminosity and background brightness to gain correct exposure. ou
should see normally exposed hoop trails and a performer clearly on the camera screen
Camera. We recommend using a cam
with "global shutter", not a "rolling
shutter". Nice result could be on new
DSLR cameras like Canon 5D mark4,
shutter speed 1/25 and 25 FPS
framerate works pretty well. Anyway, a
camera doesn't see light trails like a
human eye does, so some
post-processing is necessary, for
example, Echo eect to make the trail
longer as you can see with your eye
Tips for smartphones. Use "Night"
camera mode if you don’t have manual
settings. This will make the shutter
speed slower and trails longer. Filming
through the sunglasses is a good idea
as well. The best result could be
achieved with camera applications with
enhanced settings, you need to adjust
aperture and ISO manually
Maintenance
Keep the battery charged. Lithium batteries don’t have a memory eect, that is why we
recommend charging the props every time after using them; don’t wait till they are totally
discharged. If you charge them every time, it makes the lifetime of the battery longer. This
advice works for your smartphone, laptop, and for any gadgets with Li-ion batteries inside.
Optimal is to keep your battery above 70%.
Water. The props will be damaged for sure if some water gets inside. If you feel you have no
chance to keep them dry under the rain, for example, take sticky tape and cover US B port,
buttons, and other spots where the water may go inside. Water damage is not covered by the
warranty. Feel free to contact us if issues pop up.

Temperature recommendations
Operating te perature to keep and use pixel equip ent is fro -20 °C to 50 °C (fro -4 °F to
122 °F). On low te perature, the ti e of working can be di inished due to reduced battery
capacity when a battery is kept on cold. When you co e back to roo te perature, all
characteristics get back to the nor al level.
If you really need to perfor in freezing cold, keep the devices in a war place and take the
right before the show. In this case the batteries don’t have enough ti e to cool o, and the
working ti e re ains al ost the sa e.
Selfheating by bright odes can also be used when perfor ing in the cold — it doesn’t allow
the battery to freeze during the perfor ance.
Warranty
We give 2-year warranty for our pixel equip ent. If during this ti e so e defect or alfunction
co es out, we either x it or ake a free replace ent of a faulty ele ent. All shipping charges are
laid upon a custo er, except cases when a device ca e initially defected or a failure was revealed
right after using the device.
Ignis pixel equip ent is strong enough to survive collisions on nor al spinning speed (about 2
revs per sec). Anyway, it cannot be called indestructible. Warranty does not cover da ages caused
by hard collisions, drops, and water.
Esti ated lifeti e of Ignis Pixel equip ent is 5-10 years and li ited only by battery life (like in
obile phones). If the battery beco es worthless, get in touch with us to replace it with a new
one, or we can tell how to change it by yourself.
[e-mail]
If the equip ent shows any failure, rst and fore ost reach us out by e ail
and tell what happened. In ost cases, a failure is possible to x on
place, without sending back to us — this will save you a lot of ti e and oney to send it to and
fro.
It’s really i portant for us to know all weak spots of our equip ent, so we could ake it even
ore reliable and durable. We would appreciate if thus you help us to evolve.
To get in touch with us and ask questions about the props, go to contacts area on our website:
