RGBAW LED panel.The light is equipped with Bluetooth 5,which pairs with Luxli’s Composer mobile
app from up to 100 feet away. Whether controlled via the app or the intuitive interface on the
unit itself, the Fiddle will illuminate your creative vision with endless possibilities.

Hue Saturation Level (HSL) mode lets you scroll through the entire color wheel and adjust the
saturation level.
Every color of the visible spectrum is available. In HSL mode, you can create accent lighting as
well as dramatic lighting effects for photography and video.
The LCD screen displays the position on the color wheel in degrees, along with a color bar
indicator.
Color saturation can be adjusted from 0% to 100% in 1% increments with the Composer app.

The Fiddle is loaded with 150 digital gel lters.Filter mode allows you to match the color temperature
of your other lights,and then add one of the 150 loaded gels for a touch of color to a background
or an accent light.Each numbered gel has a descriptive title, along with a color bar of the color
hue and exact color temperature.The Fiddle uses the setting from CCT mode to calculate the
precise color temperature of the gel as it would appear on the actual light.
The Composer app allows you to adjust the base white color temperature setting and apply
any of the colored gels.
Filter Mode
Adjustment Dials
• Top: Scrolls through all installed colored gels.
• Bottom: Adjusts the brightness from 0% to
100%.
Setting the Base White Color Temperature
The base white color temperature can be set
anywhere between 3000 and 10,000 K.There
are two options for setting the base white color
temperature that you’ll apply a gel to.
1. Switch to CCT mode, and set the color
temperature. That will be the base white
color temperature in Filter mode.
2. In the Composer app, use the CCT slider
to set the color temperature. Using this
option, you can see the adjustments
instantaneously without leaving Filter mode.
Important! The selected lter is active only in
Filter mode.The lter is removed upon exiting
