3 Features
The LED lighting set is particularly suitable for lighting applications in clubs and discotheques,
on rock stages, in theatres and musicals.
Special features of the device:
n4 LED pots with 48 × 1 W RGBW LEDs (12 × per spot, each 3 red, 3 green, 3 blue, 3 white)

(not included)
n14 preprogrammed automatic shows
nSound control
nMaster / Slave mode
nEasy transport, easy mounting

For technological reasons, the light output of LEDs decreases over their lifetime. This eect
increases with higher operating temperature. You can extend the service life of the illuminants
by providing adequate ventilation and operating the LEDs with the lowest possible brightness.
