2 Safety instructions
This device is intended for use as an electronic lighting eect by means of LED tech‐
nology. The device is designed for professional use and is not suitable for use in
households. Use the device only as described in this user manual. Any other use or
use under other operating conditions is considered to be improper and may result in
personal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed for damages
resulting from improper use.
This device may be used only by persons with sucient physical, sensorial, and intel‐
lectual abilities and having corresponding knowledge and experience. Other persons
may use this device only if they are supervised or instructed by a person who is
responsible for their safety.
Extend the life of the device by regular breaks in operation and avoid switching it on
and o frequently. This device is not suitable for continuous use.
DANGER!
Danger for children
Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and
are not within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard!
Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the
like) from the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke!
Never let children unattended use electrical devices.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltages inside
Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present.
Never remove any covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Do not use the device if covers, protectors or optical components are
missing or damaged.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord)
with a protective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the
plug. Failure to do so could result in electric shock/death or re. If in
doubt, seek advice from a registered electrician.
WARNING!
Eye damage caused by high light intensity
Never look directly into the light source.

WARNING!
Risk of epileptic shock
Strobe lighting can trigger seizures in photosensitive epilepsy. Sensitive
persons should avoid looking at strobe lights.
NOTICE!
Risk of re
Do not block areas of ventilation. Do not install the device near any
direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked ames.
NOTICE!
Operating conditions
This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage,
never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight,
heavy dirt, and strong vibrations.
Only operate the device within the ambient conditions specied in the
chapter ‘Technical specications’ of this user manual. Avoid heavy tem‐
perature uctuations and do not switch the device on immediately after
it was exposed to temperature uctuations (for example after transport
at low outside temperatures).
Dust and dirt inside can damage the unit. When operated in harmful
ambient conditions (dust, smoke, nicotine, fog, etc.), the unit should be
maintained by qualied service personnel at regular intervals to prevent
overheating and other malfunction.
NOTICE!
Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet)
matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is pro‐
tected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result
in damage to the device and possibly injure the user.
Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused
for long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or re.
NOTICE!
Possible damage due to installation of a wrong fuse
The use of dierent types of fuses can cause serious damage to the unit.

3 Features
The LED oodlight is particularly suitable for professional lighting tasks, for example
at events, on rock stages and in theatres and musicals. The device is characterised by
excellent colour mixing properties and very high light output.
Special features of the device:
n16 × 6-in-1 HEX LEDs (red, green, blue, amber, white, UV), each 8 W
nControl via DMX (six dierent modes), via buttons and display on the unit or an
optionally available IR remote control (item no. 354223)
n4 segments can be controlled separately
nUniversally applicable as blinder, ood light or eect light
n30 preprogrammed automatic shows
nSound control
nMaster / Slave mode
nClear OLED display (four lines)
nRobust metal housing
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.

4 Installation
Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the unit.
Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the product against vibration, dust
and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or your
own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively.
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Make sure that the installation complies with the standards and rules
that apply in your country. Always secure the device with a secondary
safety attachment, such as a safety cable or a safety chain.
NOTICE!
Risk of overheating
The distance between light output and the illuminated surface must be
more than 1.5 m (19.7in).
Provide sucient ventilation.
The ambient temperature must always be below 40 °C (104 °F).
NOTICE!
Use of stands
When mounting the device onto a stand, ensure that the stand is in a
safe and stable position and that the weight of the device does not
exceed the maximum permissible load capacity of the stand.
NOTICE!
Possible data transmission errors
For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not
use ordinary microphone cables.
Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers
or ampliers.
You can install the unit in hanging or standing position. When in use, the device must
always be attached to a solid surface or an approved truss. Use the openings pro‐
vided on the two-piece bracket for attaching.
Always work from a stable platform whenever installing, moving or servicing the
