Conduct an orchestra of lights.
Precautions
The Luxli Orchestra series can produce a dazzling symphony of light. Synchronize LED light units
of all sizes, choose from millions of possible colors, apply lighting effects from three selectable
modes, and control them instantly with the powerful Composer mobile app.
The Cello² 10-inch multicolor LED light features a highly accurate and remarkably versatile 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 Cello² will illuminate your creative vision with endless possibility.
For the latest version of the Composer mobile app, rmware updates, as well as videos and ideas

Powering the Cello²
The Cello² runs on either DC power, a Sony NP-F battery, or via the USB Type-C port.
DC Power
Connect a power cord with a 2.1 × 5.5 mm DC barrel (available separately) to the DC input and
an external power source such as a battery or AC adapter.
Important! Make sure the DC power source can provide at least 30 W between 7 and 15 V.Using
a power source outside of this voltage range may damage the Cello².
Battery
Align the contacts of a Sony NP-F style battery with the terminals in the battery plate, and slide
the battery into the plate until it clicks into place.
USB Type-C
Connect the Cello²’s USB Type-C input with the USB Type-C wall charger. In order to power the
Cello², the wall charger must have Power Delivery 3.0 and a minimum output of 30 W at either
12 or 15 V.
Recharging the Battery
While it’s seated in the battery plate, the NP-F style battery can be recharged via the DC power
input or the USB Type-C port.

CCT Mode
Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) mode allows you to accurately adjust the color temperature
from 2800 to 10,000 K.The ±Green feature allows you to set the green/magenta saturation level
in 1% increments from 100% (full plus green) to -100% (full minus green).
Icons
The icons along the top of the LCD screen
indicate industry-standard color temperature
settings.
As you adjust the color temperature, a bar will
scroll below to indicate where the selected
color temperature falls in relation to the icons.
Each icon will highlight when the bar reaches
the exact color temperature for that setting.

HSL Mode
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 panel displays the position on the color wheel in degrees,along with a color bar indicator.
Color saturation can be adjusted from 100% to 0% in 2% increments.
Adjustment dial

Filter Mode
The Cello² is loaded with 150 digital gel lters.Filter mode allows you to adjust the color temperature
setting in 50 K increments and apply any of the colored gels.
This mode allows you to match the color temperature of your other lights,and then add a gel for
a touch of color to a background or an accent light.The Cello² uses the setting from CCT mode
to calculate the precise color temperature of the gel as it would appear on the actual light.
Each numbered gel has a descriptive title, along with a preview of the selected base color of
the lter, and exact color temperature.
Adjustment dial
Brightness dial
• Scroll: Scrolls through all installed colored
