  1. Power Connection: Connect the provided power cable to the POWER IN socket and then to a suitable power outlet (240V).
  2. DMX Connection (Optional): For DMX control, connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller's output to the DMX IN port of the first light. For multiple lights, daisy-chain them by connecting the DMX OUT of the first light to the DMX IN of the next, and so on.
  3. Mounting: Use the adjustable stand for floor placement or attach the included brackets for truss or T-bar mounting. Ensure all connections are secure.

Operating Modes

The U`King Moving Head Stage Light offers four primary operating modes:

  • DMX 512 Mode: Allows professional control over all functions (color, gobo, pan, tilt, strobe, etc.) using an external DMX controller. Each light will require a unique DMX address.
  • Master/Slave Mode: Connect multiple lights via DMX cables. Set one unit as the "Master" and others as "Slave" units. The slave units will mimic the master's movements and effects.
  • Sound Activated Mode: The built-in microphone detects sound and music, triggering light patterns and movements that synchronize with the audio rhythm.
  • Auto Mode: The light operates through pre-programmed internal shows and patterns without external input.
