MIRO CUBE™
Rosco's innovative MIRO CUBE™ series of LED wash lights packs 48 watts
outputting more than 3000 lumens into a compact and portable 4 inch
cube! The sleek yet rugged, geometric design of the MIRO CUBE™ is
perfectly at home in museums, on track light systems, in stores and lobbies
or built into sets, truss and lighting rigs of all styles.
These luminaires oer the exibility and versatility needed for any type of
lighting challenge. No expensive external power supply or ballast is
required, the MIRO CUBE™ plugs directly into the wall anywhere in the
world, automatically adjusting to mains power from 90-240vAC 50-60hz.
Drawing less than ½ an amp of current, more than 40 MIRO CUBES™ can be
plugged into a single 20A circuit!
An intuitive LCD control panel sets virtually every aspect of the lights
including a master-slave conguration for fast lighting set-ups. Completely
icker free dimming is available via DMX (in 8 or 16 bit resolution).

Product Description
06
Mounting these compact 4 inch cubes is limited only by the imagination of
the installer. The novel through bolted yoke design allows units to be easily
ganged into multi-unit strips and arrays for greater output and coverage.
Weighing just 2-1/2 pounds, the MIRO CUBE™ can be attached to standard
architectural lighting track using accessory track adapters. For the easiest
track installation, use our DMX Data Track and pass DMX to all the
luminaires on the track without cable jumpers.
Available in versions that oer full color mixing, tunable color temperature
white light, or high powered ultra-violet light for stunning black-light
eects, the MIRO CUBE™ luminaires are the smallest, most feature packed
and aordable, professional grade LED wash lights on the market.

MIRO CUBE™ 4C
09
From walls to washes to uplighters, the MIRO
CUBE™ 4C color mixing wash light oers a
designer maximum creativity in a tiny package.
Using best in class RGBW quad color, multi
channel chips, a gorgeous palette of saturated,
mid-tone and pale tint colors can be dialed in
at the touch of a button. And of course, a true
white is always available as well, not the
unattering mixed amber compromise found
in other lights. Smart programming in the
MIRO CUBE™ 4C includes a stand-alone color wash mode or allows multiple
units to be easily slaved together, synchronized and oset using
self-generated DMX for color chases and other dynamic lighting patterns
without a console. Use it alone, congured in strips & arrays or built-in for
virtually any application needing colored light - from stage, studios and
location, bars and casinos, to stores, windows and lobbies.
NOTE: The luminaire should be positioned so that prolonged staring
into the luminaire at a distance closer than 3.3m is not expected.

MIRO CUBE™ WNC
10
Size matters. But quality of light matters more!
The MIRO CUBE WNC embodies what every
lighting professional needs - A bright, tunable,
beautiful white light. Using 12 high quality
Cree XML 4W emitters, the MIRO WNC outputs
3100 lumens and can adjust from 2800K to
6500K. A mix of warm, neutral and cool LEDs
insure excellent rendering across all color
temperatures making it perfect for use on TV or
lm sets, in retail lighting, museums, architecture photography studios or
any white light application.
NOTE: The luminaire should be positioned so that prolonged staring
into the luminaire at a distance closer than 0.31m is not expected.

MIRO CUBE™ UV
11
Ideally suited for theme parks, night clubs,
casinos, museums and stage applications, MIRO
CUBE™ UV is the smallest, most aordable high
powered UV light available to lighting
professionals. Drawing just 50 watts, it
outperforms conventional long throw xtures
using 5 times the power, weighing 10 times
more, and which need an expensive lamp
change every 1000 hours! The xture allows for
full speed 8 and 16 bit DMX dimming and standalone control (without a
DMX source) via a rear mounted full text LCD display.
WARNING: Do not look directly into the UV light during operation. Eye
and skin exposure to UV light can cause severe damage to humans
and animals. Take every precaution to limit exposure to UV light
(including the use of UV-blocking eye protection).

DMX Mode
In DMX mode, the unit is controlled by the data it receives on the
ve pin DMX512 connectors located on the rear panel. The number
of DMX channels required to control the xture is dependent on
the factory setting in use (for example - Four Color MIRO CUBES™
use four DMX channels while One Color MIRO CUBES™ use one).
NOTE: A THREE PIN DMX TO FIVE PIN DMX ADAPTOR MAY BE
USED WITH THE FIXTURE AS WELL.

The MIRO CUBE™ can be controlled via two unique DMX universes.
DMX can be input on pins 2&3 (Universe1) or pins 4&5 (Universe2)
via the 5 pin DMX connectors on the rear panel. This allows two
complete universes of DMX to be transmitted on a single cable.
To change from Universe1 to Universe2 (or from Universe2 to
Universe1) press MENU until “SET TO UNIVERSE 2?” (or “SET TO
UNIVERSE 1?”) appears on the LCD, then press OK

The xture can run in either 8 bit or 16 bit DMX mode. In 8 bit
mode, The MIRO CUBE™ accepts one DMX channel for each color.
In 16 bit mode, two channels are required for each color. To
change from 8 bit to 16 bit mode (or from 16 bit to 8 bit) press
MENU until “SET TO 16BIT DMX?” (or “SET TO 8BIT DMX?”)
appears on the LCD, then press OK.
Filament Fade:
An incandescent lamp has a slight delay, or lag with changing
intensities, whereas an LED responds instantly. The dierence is
most noticeable during a theatrical black out. The MIRO CUBE™
can emulate an incandescent lamp by selecting one of the
Tungsten Fade settings.
To change the Tungsten Fade setting, press MENU until “CHANGE
FILAMNT FADE?” appears on the screen, and press OK. Select
from “OFF”, “1 (MIN)”,“2 (MID)” or ”3 (MAX)” using the or
keys, and press OK. A setting of “3 (MAX)” provides the greatest
delay. A setting of “0” will turn the Filament Fade o, and allow
the LEDs to respond instantly to changing DMX input.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT ANY MIRO CUBE™ IN MANUAL
MODE TO ANY OTHER DMX SENDING DEVICE AS CONTENTION
ON THE DMX512 INPUT WILL RESULT.
In Manual Mode, the MIRO CUBE™ can be controlled directly from
its rear panel without the need of a DMX console or a DMX control
device. Standalone control capabilities vary according to the
factory setting in use (Four Color, Three Color, or One Color). Factory
settings are password protected but can be adjusted. Contact the
manufacturer for more information.
(All standalone, DMX address and conguration settings are
non-volatile, meaning they will not change if power is lost or
switched o and restored. When set to manual mode, the MIRO
CUBE™ operates as a DMX Master and is sending DMX512 data.)
