1. Introduction
2. Safety Information
1.2 Key Features
The Ikan LYRA POE are lighting solutions designed to be effortlessly installed in studios with
limited ceiling clearance. PoE++ lights are easy to install as they can be quickly and easily
connected using an Ethernet cable. Equipped with high CRI LED chips and a soft panel, it emits
a gentle, wraparound light that offers a clean and sharp shadow. With a color temperature
range of 3200K to 5600K, it is highly versatile and ideal for any lighting production. The
100-degree beam angle offers ample coverage and the sturdy yoke, with it’s tension knobs,
allows for easy adjustments and secure placement at any angle.

- 5 -
• Connect the Cat6 (24AWG or better) cable to the light and a compatible PoE++ power
source.
• Flip the switch to the on position.
• The light will take up to 5 seconds to boot up. The readout screen flashing white is a normal
indication that the light is turning on.
• The yellow circular knob serves as both the enter button and a scroll wheel to adjust values.
After adjusting to the values you want, confirm by pressing the back button and returning to
previous options.
5. POE Information
• PoE allows for the simultaneous transmisson of power and data over a single Ethernet
cable, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter.
4.3 Powering On and Off
4.4 Basic Controls
5.1 Understanding Power over Ethernet (PoE)
5.2 802.3bt Type 4 Compatility
• Ensure that the PoE source complies with the 802.3bt Type 4 standard to provide the
necessary power for the LBX8-POE or LBX10-POE.
5.3 Connecting to PoE Source
• Connect a Cat6 or higher Ethernet cable to the light and a compatible PoE++ power source.
Verify the connection is secure.
5.4 Troubleshooting PoE Issues
• If power issues arise, check the PoE source and cable for faults. Contact customer support if
problems persist.

6. Operation

- 7 -
6.1 Intensity
• Adjust the brightness to achieve the desired illumination level. The light can be set from
0-100%, increasing and decreasing by increments of 1%.
6.2 CCT (Color Temperature)
• Adjust the color temperature between 3200K and 5600K.
6.3 DMX Address
• DMX512 channel selection from 1 to 511. Each light requires two channels for use.
• The first channel is intensity and the second is color temperature. DMX control has priority.
• When the light receives DMX signal a green dot will appear indicating that DMX signal is
received.
• NOTE: Local control not available when DMX is connected.

- 8 -
• Access the web interface by entering the IP address on the back of the light. For example,
if the light shows 192.168.0.50 enter that into the web browser of a computer on the same
network as the light fixture.
6.5 Firmware Updates
• Check the manufacturer’s website for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance.
Firmware updating instructions will be available with the firmware update files.
6.6 Web Interface
• The light fixture is equipped with a web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) that facilitates
the adjustment of DMX address, Art-Net settings, sACN settings, as well as Ethernet
configurations including IP address, Net Mask, and Gateway preferences.
6.4 Net State:
• Turns on the usage of DMX over IP protocols Art-Net or sACN. Once one of these are
selected, select the following:
192.168.xxx.xxx
172.xxx.xxx.xxx
10.xxx.xxx.xxx
IP: IP address of the light. The light can be set as the following:
IP Mode: Set either DHCP or Static
Universe: Select the address for Art-Net or sACN

7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning and Care
• Clean the light with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive materials.
7.2 Storage Guidelines
• Store the light in a dry, cool environment. Disconnect from power during extended
periods of use.
8. Troubleshooting
8.1 Power Issues
• Check the PoE source, cable, and connections. Ensure proper compatibility with the
802.3bt Type 4 standard on PoE Switch.
8.2 DMX over IP Controls Not Working
• Check that the lights are in the correct universe in the controller and the light fixture.
8.2 FAQs
• Power Grid-Independent Installation: PoE++ lights do not require new power outlets in
the ceiling grid. This will save time and money required to create electrical drawing plans,
apply for permits, and hire certified electricians to install the new outlets.
What are the advantages of PoE++ lights over the traditional versions?

- 10 -
• Simplified Power Management: A single Ethernet cable will simultaneously power and
DMX control the lights. This will simplify your installation and reduce clutter. Not only
does this necessitate fewer cables, but when utilized in tandem with drop ceiling mounts,
the discreet placement of Cat6 cables above the ceiling panels becomes possible. This
contrasts with traditional AC-power cables, which must be installed below drop-ceiling tiles
per code regulations. Requires cables rated Cat6 24AWG Sheilded or better. Ikan’s PoE++
lights include both Art-Net and sACN DMX-Over-IP protocols.
• Enchanced Flexibility: PoE++ lights can be easily moved and repositioned without the
constraints of traditional power outlets nor the need to manage the traditional DMX daisy
chain.
What kind of PoE switch will I need?
• The lights require 802.3bt Type 4 switch with minimal 90W per port. Netgear’s 90W AV
PoE++ Switches have been fully tested and certified ato be compatible with all Ikan PoE++
lights. They include the IKM4250-10G2XF-PoE++ 8 port switch and the IKM4250-26G4F-
PoE++ 24 port switch.
IKM4250-10G2XF-PoE++ IKM4250-26G4F-PoE++
PoE++ Ports (90W/port) 8 24
PoE++ Power Budget 720W 1440W
Non-PoE RJ45 Ports 2 2
SFP Ports 2 4
Power Consumption With PoE: 837.7W Single AC With PoE: 889W
Dual AC With PoE: 1734W
How many lights can I put on each switch?
• The information below demonstrates the number of PoE++ lightings that can be supported
by either the 8 port or 24 port Netgear PoE++ switches.
IKM4250-10G2XF-PoE++
• 8 x LBX10-POE (85W x 16 = 680W)
• 8 x LBX8-POE
• 8 x Any combination of LBX8-POE and LBX10-POE

- 11 -
IKM4250-26G4F-PoE++
• 16 x LBX10-POE (85W x 16 = 1360W)
• 24 x LBX8-POE
• If doing a combination of Lyra POE lights, calculate the total wattage of all lights to make
sure the switch can support it.
• For example, if using 10 x LBX10-POE and 10 x LBX8-POE
• LBX10-POE 85W x 10 = 850W
• LBX8-POE 50W x 10 = 500W
• 850W + 500W = 1350W
• 1350W is lower than the switch’s max power budget of 1440W, and only
uses 20 PoE++ ports, so this switch can support this configuration.
If I have both DMX512 5-pin and ArtNet or sACN RJ45 plugged in,
which has control priority?
• DMX512 would have priority.
If both a power adapter and PoE++ are plugged in, will it damage the
light?
• No, the light will automatically use the power adapter as that has priority over PoE++.
Power supply NOT included.
