CCT – COLOR CORRECTION MODE OPERATION:
Use this mode when daylight, tungsten or color temperature blending is desired. The panel is capable of
achieving color temperatures between 3200K and 10,000K. 3200K Is considered tungsten and 5600K
is the daylight setting. Adjusting the panel above 5600K will result in gradually lower CRI, with 9999K
dropping to CRI 89. Because we use both a CRI > 97 3200K chip and a separate CRI > 97 5600K chip,
blending anywhere between these two color spectrums will result in CRI > 97 at any point in between.
Flip the “Toggle” to the down “CCT” position. Press the “Intensity/Menu” button until the menu that says
“CCT” is visible.
To adjust color temperature, press the “Color” button until “CCT” is highlighted by a white box. Turn the
“Color” button clockwise to increase the color temperature and the counterclockwise to lower.
To make ne green adjustments to the selected color temperature, press the “Color” button until “GN”
is highlighted. Turn the “Color” knob clockwise to add green to the light output. In many environments,
it may be benecial to match the available light by using the color temperature feature but the panel
output may still be of a higher quality than the available light. User can increase the green to decrease
the quality of the panel’s light output until the lower light quality of the environment is matched.
Caution: As green is increased, CRI will decrease.
To adjust brightness at any selected color temperature, turn the “Intensity/Menu” button clockwise to
increase brightness and counterclockwise to decrease.
Instead of manually adjusting the color temperature, the Savage RGB Pro Panel can be adjusted to
simulate various light sources. Press the “Intensity/Menu” button one time. Turn the “Menu” button
clockwise to select: “Light Source”. Press the “Menu” button one time. User will be able to simulate
the various light sources listed in the columns below. Turn the “Menu” to select the desired light output
simulation. From this menu, you can simulate the following Kelvin temperature light sources:
12 = Fluorescent soft white (3200K, CRI 97)
13 = Fluorescent warm white (3600K, CRI 97)
14 = Fluorescent white (4300K, CRI 97)
15 = Fluorescent daylight (5000K, CRI 97)
16 = Camera ash (5500K, CRI 97)
The Savage RGB Pro Panel can save up to 8 color temperatures of the users choice for future use.
With the toggle switched to the “CCT” position, select the color temperature of choice in the “CCT”
menu to be saved. Press the “Menu” button until “Preset” is visible. Turn the “Menu” button until “Preset
Temp” is selected. Press the “Menu” button again and the “Preset Temps” menu should be present.
Turn the “Color” knob clockwise to select the number 1-8 that you wish to be associated with the
selected color temperature. After selecting a number for the rst time, the panel will go dark. Press the
“Color” knob again and the selected color temperature will be saved to that number for future use. To
overwrite a previously saved color, turn the color knob until the number to be overwritten is highlighted.
Press the color knob again and the new color will be saved.
3200K - 3900K = Tungsten/incandescent light
4000K - 4900K = Fluorescent light simulation
5000K - 6500K = Daylight
6500K - 7000K = Cloudy day
7000K - 8000K = Overcast day
8000K - 8900K = Hazy day
9000K+ = Snowy day
17 = Fluorescent cool (6700K, CRI 94)
18 = Daylight overcast (7300K, CRI 93)
19 = Daylight shady (8400K, CRI 91)
20 = Snowy day (10,000K, CRI 89)

Smart Phone App
The Savage RGB Pro Panel can be controlled remotely using the free Savage Light
Manager app available for download in the Google Play Store & Apple Store.
With the Bluetooth setting on your phone enabled, turn the panel on and open the Savage Light Manager app. The app should
pair automatically with the panel and the Bluetooth icon should come on at the top right corner of the back panel screen.
If the Bluetooth icon does not illuminate, the panel is not paired. If this happens, refer to the trouble shooting guide.
SPECIAL EFFECTS
There are 4 activity controls at the bottom of the app. Tap the activity button at the bottom that you wish to activate.
ADJUST FUNCTION
The adjust function allows the user to change color, brightness, Kelvin temperature, save colors, and adjust hue and saturation.
PRIMARY COLOR WHEEL (A)
Primary Color Wheel (A) allows user to scroll around the color wheel to select 360 different colors. Once the desired color has
been selected, slide right on the white “Light Output Bar” (2) to increase or left to decrease light output.
HUE AND SATURATION WHEEL (B)
Tap the color wheel (1) in the top left hand corner of the app and the “Hue and Saturation Wheel” will be visible. This function
allows the user to both select the desired hue and also to adjust the saturation of the selected color. Tap the area of the color
wheel anywhere inside the wheel to make your selection. You may also drag your nger inside the wheel until you observe the
desired color on the light. Below the Light Output Bar (2), there are 6 programmable “Preset Buttons” (3) that allow you to save
the color of your choice for future use. To save a color, tap any of the 6 preset buttons. A check mark will appear in the box.
Scroll to the color of your choice on the color wheel. Tap the checked preset button again to uncheck the box. The check mark
will disappear and the box will change to the color you selected. That color is saved for future use. You can repeat the above
steps to save up to 6 colors, the presets will not save the light level.
Only the desired color.
Below the 6 presets, there are 4 common “Standard Colors”. They are cyan, red, green, blue and cannot be programmed.
Simply tap to select and the light will change to the standard color. Press “RGB” button to go from the selected color to white.
Select the “Off” button to decrease light output to 0%. Tap any color on the color wheel or any of the color buttons and the light
will restart at the selected color.
COLOR TEMPERATURE WHEEL (C)
The Savage RGB Pro Panel can be set to 5500K/daylight output. It can also be set to 3200K/tungsten light that is similar to a
cool white incandescent look. In many rooms, there are multiple light sources in the room that are blending together. In those
instances, the light in the room is neither daylight nor tungsten. The Kelvin wheel allows the user to blend the 2 light sources to
match the available light in the room. It can also be used to “warm” or “cool” the subject for creative purposes.
To enable the color temperature blending function on the panel, tap the “Color Temperature Wheel” (C). You will then be able to
slide your nger around the color wheel (1) to achieve the color temperature of your choice. Once the desired color has been
selected, scroll right on the white Light Output Bar (2) to increase or left to decrease light output. Below the Light Output Bar (2),
there are 6 “Preset Buttons”. They are not programmable.
The rst button in the Standard presets will decrease the light output to 0% (the light will still be in the On position). The second
button labeled “3200K” will adjust your light to tungsten. The third button labeled “5600K” will set the light to daylight color
temperature. The 50% button will change the Kelvin temperature to 4300K, the 25% changes the output to 3700K and the 5%
button will change the output to 3300K. The Light Output Bar (2) can adjust the light intensity of the selected color temperature.
MUSIC FUNCTION
Your Savage RGB Pro Panel can be used to pulse with your music and audio les stored in your media library. The pulsing light
will cycle through the various colors (rainbow effect) available and match the beat of the music or voices for audio recordings. It
is not possible to specify a specic color in this function. Upon launch the app will ask for access to your device’s media library.
Allow permission if you would like to use music or audio les stored on your device to pair with the app’s features. If not,
disallow. If you would like to use the function but disallow at a later date, follow the procedure below:

Troubleshooting
Problem: Light behaves erratically.
For Android:
If the app has been running in the background for extended periods of time, the apps cache can ll up.
Solution:
To solve, close the “Savage Light Manager” app.
Go to “Settings” in your phone.
In settings, go to “Application Manager”.
Scroll to the app “Savage Light Manager”.
Tap “Storage”.
Tap “Clear Cache”.
This will likely solve the issue. Re-open the “Savage light Manager App” and re-try.
If light fails to pair with your device’s Bluetooth, GPS/Location Service may need to be enabled.
For iPhone:
Close out of the app completely and then re-open. You can also try to remove the battery from the panel and re-attach or restart the phone completely.
If you receive the error message “Unfortunately Light Manager has stopped.” when clicking on the Mood function, it’s likely that the Microphone permissions are turned off in
the app. Refer to the Mood section of the instructions for more info.
If another specic activity control is not functioning, refer to that activity’s section of the instructions for more info.
If the panel appears to be paired (BLE button on panel is on) z cannot be controlled, see instructions for Default Groups. The panel that is being used should be highlighted in
blue/gray, the bulb to the right of the device should appear on and the chain to the left of the described device should appear unbroken.
Problem: Light will not pulse to selected music on phone:
Solution:
Make sure the sound bar icon is green and not white. If white tap and it will turn green. Try playing music. If still not working, select the “List” icon at the left top of the app and
make sure the paired panel’s “Bulb” icon is lit and the “Chain links” to the left of the listed panel are unbroken. If “Bulb” is not lit, tap one time. If “Chain” appears broken, tap
one time. When the bulb appears lit and the chain links appear connected, go back to the “Music” menu and select play. The panel should now beat to the selected song in the
rainbow mode.
Problem: Mood function does not respond to your voice.
Solution:
Slide the white bar all the way to the right. If the function is working, the light should begin to pulse in rainbow mode to any sound in the room. If successful, slide the bar to
the left to gradually reduce the sensitivity of the speaker until the panel is only responding to you voice.If still not working, select the “List” icon at the left top of the app and
make sure the paired panel’s “Bulb” icon is lit and the “Chain” links to the left of the listed panel are unbroken. If “Bulb” is not lit, tap one time. If “Chain” appears broken, tap
one time. When the bulb appears lit and the chain links appear connected, go back to the “Music” menu and select play. The panel should now beat to the selected song in the
rainbow mode.
