6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Basic Operation
Upon initial power-up, the flood light will illuminate. Due to its memory function, it will recall the last settings (color, brightness, mode) before it was last powered off.
6.2 Control Methods (Accessories Sold Separately)
This flood light offers advanced control options through compatible accessories:
- Remote Control: Compatible with Miboxer remotes such as FUT092, FUT089, B4, and B8. These remotes allow for color changing, color temperature adjustment, dimming, and mode selection.
- Smartphone APP Control: To control the light via a smartphone app, the WL-Box2 gateway is required. This gateway connects your flood light to your Wi-Fi network, enabling app control from your device.
- DMX512 Control: For professional lighting setups, the flood light can be controlled with a DMX512 console via the FUTD01 transmitter.
